The percent increase of the second year was 85.71%

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential growth formula is y=a(1+r)^x

where;

y=population after x years

a=original population

r=growth rate as a decimal

x=number of time interval that have passed

Let starting population be p

The first year increase in the population was 40% this means;

r=0.4 , x=1 and a=p thus the equation will be

y=p(1+0.4)^1 ⇒⇒y=1.4 p

In the second year the population of birds of an island became 7 times more than before which is 7p

7p= 7*1.4p= 9.8p

Increase will be;

9.8p-1.4p=8.4

% increase will be;

8.4/9.8 *100 =85.71%
