Answer:
1,267 wolves
Explanation:
Initial population of wolf = 850 wolves
If the wolves increases by 7% each year, yearly increment will be 7% of 850
= 7/100 * 850
= 7*8.5
= 59.5 wolves.
This shows that the wolves increases by 59.5 each year.
After 7 years, increment will be equivalent to 59.5 * 7 = 416.5
The wolf population after 7 years = Initial population + Increment after 7 years
= 850 + 416.5
= 1266.5
≈ 1267 wolves
Hence the population of the wolves after 7 years is approximately 1,267 wolves
