Question

the rabbit population in a forest area grows at the rate of 7% monthly if there are 220 rabbits in April find how many rabbits run to the nearest whole number should be expected by next April

Answer 1

The answer is 404. The rabbit population grows at the rate of 7% monthly or 7x12 = 84% annually. At the end of one year there would be 84% more rabbits. So if we start at 220 rabbits in April, until next April you would expect an 84% increase which comes up to 404.8 or 404 rabbits (1.84 * 220).
