Y= -1 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Percent change = (new number - old number)/(old number) * 100
percent change = (54 - 48)/(48) * 100 = 6/48 * 100 = 0.125 * 100 = 12.5%
Well. You start with two rabbits, and it triples every month, so:
0 months: 2 rabbits.
1 month: 2*3 = 6 rabbits.
2 months: 6*3 = 18 rabbits.
3 months: 18*3 = 54 rabbits.
