The population of fire ants is increasing at a rate of 15% each month. If there wee initially 26,000 ants in the original colony, how many ants will there be in 32 months?

124,800 because 15% of 26000 is 3900 all ya gotta do is multiply that by the number of months which their living and 3900x32 is 124,800 so there will
be 124,800 at the end of the month baby
