Question

The number of dandelions at the beginning of the summer was 2,000. The population of dandelions is expected to grow at a rate of 2.5% each day. How many dandelions should we expect after 30 days?

Answer 1

3500 dandelions

Explanation:

To start you must multiply the number of dandelions by the growth rate to find the number of dandelions grown each day:

2,000 * 0.025 = 50

Then you multiply the number of dandelions by 30 for each day:

50 * 30= 1500

Lastly, you add the dandelions grown in 30 days to the original for your answer.
