Question

In 1995, there were 85 rabbits in Central Park. The population increased by 12% each year. How many rabbits

populated Central Park 21 years later?

Answer 1

918

Explanation:

Given data

Initila population= 85

Rate = 12%

TIme= 21 years

Let us apply the compounding expression

A=P(1+r)^t

substitute

A= 85(1+0.12)^21

A=85(1.12)^21

A=85*10.80

A= 918

Hence the approximate Rabbit population will be 918
