Answer:

31.43 years

Explanation:

The number of years can be calculated using growth rate formula

yf = yi ( 1 + r) ^ t where yf is the final population, yi is the initial population, r is the rate in % and t is the number of years

yi = 50, yf = 1000, r = 10% and t = ?

substitute the values into the formula

1000 = 50 ( 1 + (10/100)) ^ t

divide both side by 50

1000/ 50 = 1000/50 ( 1.1) ^t

20 = (1.1) ^t

take log of both side

log 20 = t log 1.1  ( remember log a^b = b log a)

divide both side by log 1.1

log 20 / log 1.1 = t

t = 31.43 years
