Question

a fruit fly population starts out with 10,000 fruit flies and is increasing in population by 15% each week. how many fruit flies will there be in 20 weeks

Answer 1

163,665

Explanation:

To calculate the amount of fruit flies that will be there in 20 weeks, you can use the following formula:

FV= PV*(1+r)^n

FV= Future value

PV= Present value= 10,000

r= rate= 15%

n= number of periods= 20

FV=10,000*(1,15)^20

FV=163,665

According to this, the answer is that there will be 163,665 fruit flies in 20 weeks.
