Question

solution
laboratory The Count of the bacteria in a certain experiment was increasing at the rate of 2.5 % per hour find the bacteria at the end of 2 hours if the account was in 506000 ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial count of bacteria = 506000

Rate of increase per hour = 2.5%

Time = 2 hours

Bacteria count after two hours = 506000 + 25300 (apply the formula of                                     simple interest, taking bacteria count as principal, rate of increase as rate percent)

= 531300

Therefore, the new bacteria count after 2 hours at the rate of increase as 2.5% is 531300
