Question

If the starting population of 5 rabbits grows at 200% each year, how many will there be 20 years?

Answer 1

Growth rate = 200% each year
SO population becomes twice in each year

After 20 years, population = 5* 2^20 = 5242880


(Assuming no deaths occur)

Answer 2

After 20 years , population will be 5.242.880 rabbits

Explanation:

Starting population 5 rabbits

Growth rate = 200% each year

To get how many rabbits will be after 20 years we have to multiple the population of the previous year by 2 ( 200%), population will grow in an exponential way.

So, we can say

Population= first population * growth ^ years

Population=5 * 2²⁰=5.242.880
