Answer:

(a) A = 20(1.6)^t

(b) 210 rabbits

Explanation:

Initial number of rabbits = 20

rate of growth, R = 60 % annually

(A) The general equation is


A = P \left ( 1+(R)/(100) \right )^t\\\\A = 20\left ( 1+(60)/(100) \right )^t\\\\A = 20 (1.6)^t

(B) Let the time, t = 5 years

So, the population after 5 years is


A = 20 (1.6)^5\\\\A = 209.7 = 210 rabbits
