Question

In 1995,there were 85 rabbits in Central Park.The population increased by 12% each year.

How many rabbits were in Central Park 2005

Answer 1

The answer is approximately 264.

Explanation:

You would have an equation similar to this 85(1.12)^x. X would represent the number of years that has passed by. 85 represent the starting amount or the y- intercept. 1.12 represent the number it is being added by each year in percent. Then you would plug in x and u would have this equation 85(1.12)^10. You can plug this into a calculator and there will be approximately 264 rabbits. I hope this helped u.
