10% each year. How many rabbits will there be in 8 years?
If necessary, round your answer to the nearest whole number.

Answer 1

Answer:

6216

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem deals with exponential growth.

Final value: F

Present (initial) value: P

Rate of growth: r

Time in years = t

$F = P(1 + r)^t$

$F = 2900(1 + 0.1)^8$

$F = 6216$

Answer: 6216
