Answer 2

Hey You!

524 × 7% = 36.68

Month 1:

524 + 36.68 = 560.68

Month 2:

560.68 × 7% = 39.2476

560.68 + 39.2476 = 599.9276

Month 3:

599.9276 × 7% = 41.994932

599.9276 + 41.994932 = 641.922532

Month 4:

641.922532 × 7% = 44.93457724

641.922532 + 44.93457724 = 686.85710924

Month 5:

686.85710924 × 7% = 48.0799976468

686.85710924 + 7% = 734.9371068868

Month 6:

There will be 780.76 bacteria in 7 months.
