To determine the number of bacteria present in the petri dish after 7 months, we multiply the original number (population) by the growth rate raised to the number of months.
total number of bacteria = (524)(1.07^7)
The answer to the equation above is 841.43. Rounding off our answer to the nearest whole number, the answer would be 841.
