Given :

96 rabbits produce 5% monthly

so, for the first month

the number of rabbits = 96 + 5% of 96 = 96 + 0.05 x 96 = 96 x 1.05

for the second month:

The number of rabbits = 96 x 1.05 + 5% of (96 x 1.05)

= 96 x 1.05 x ( 1 + 0.05)

= 96 x 1.05^2

so, for 7 months

the number of rabbits =


96\cdot1.05^7=96\cdot1.4071=135.08

so, after 7 months, the number of rabbits = 135
