$20.70
Step-by-step explanation:
15% of 18 is 2.7 so 18 + 2.7 = 20.70
1. .11111 (continued)
2. .015625
3. .015625
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
In this problem we have a exponential function of the form

where
x is the time in hours
y is the numbers of bacteria
a is the initial value
b is the base
r is the rate of growth
b=(1+r)
we have that

For x=8, y=3,300
substitute in the exponential function

solve for b

![b=\sqrt[8]{1.1}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=b%3D%5Csqrt%5B8%5D%7B1.1%7D)

Find the value of r

The equation is equal to

For x=12 hours
substitute the value of x in the equation
