Bacteria Growth Rate Formula:

N(t) = N(0) * ( 1 + r)^t

where, N(0) is the number of bacteria present at the beginning of the experiment, r is the growth rate, t is the time taken/ elapsed.

Substituting the numbers for N(t), N(0) and t from the given description, we get the value of r.

220 = 20*(1+r)^(24 hours)

Solving for r, we get r = 0.105074.

1 week has (7 x 24 = 168) hours in it.

Therefore, N(168 hours) = 20*(1+0.105074)^168

Which is approximately 390 millions.

Hence there will be 390 millions bacteria at the end of 1 week.
