\qquad \textit{Amount for Exponential Growth} \\\\ A=P(1 + r)^t\qquad \begin{cases} A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\ P=\textit{initial amount}\dotfill &25\\ r=rate\to 300\%\to (300)/(100)\dotfill &3\\ t=\textit{elapsed time}\dotfill &x\\ \end{cases} \\\\\\ A=25(1 + 3)^(x)\implies A=25(4)^x~\hfill f(x)=25(4)^x

4 is really 1 + 3, namely the growth rate is 300/100 or 300%.

so the quantity today, is 300% more than yesterday, so whatever it was yesterday plus three times that much, so the quantity is 4 times as large as yesterday's.
