Answer:

8100

Explanation:

We first see that in the first day it tripled from 100 to 300 this is the pattern that is seen throughout this whole experemint, we can see that the cells triple again on the second day to get 900 cells from this. It is likely to say that they will triple again on the third day to get 2100 and again on the fourth to get 8100
