Question

The count of bacteria in a certain experiment was increasing at the rate of 2.5% per hour find the total count of bacteria at the end of 2 hours,if the count of bacteria initially was 64000

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Bacteria increased in the first hour = (2.5% × 64000) + 64000 = 1600 + 64000 = 65600

In the second hour = (2.5% × 64000) + 65600 = 1600 + 65600 = 67200
