Answer 2

Number of algae in 7 days = 70.355

Explanation:

Given:

Algae in beginning = 50

Rate of increasing = 5% per day = 0.05

Number of days = 7 days

Find:

Number of algae in 7 days.

Computation:

`Number\ of\ algae\ in\ 7\ days = Algae\ in\ beginning(1+Rate\ of\ increasing)^(Number\ of\ days)\\\\Number\ of\ algae\ in\ 7\ days = 50(1+0.05)^7\\\\Number\ of\ algae\ in\ 7\ days = 70.355`

Number of algae in 7 days = 70.355
