Answer:
number 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Option B is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Current number of butterflies in the park = 20 thousand.
Rate of increase of butterfly population = 4% = 0.04
The population of butterfly after 1 year = 20+0.04*20 = 20*1.04
The population of butterfly after 2 years = 20*1.04 + 20*1.04*0.04 = 20*1.04*1.04
The population of butterfly after 3 years = 20*1.04*1.04 + 20*1.04*1.04*0.04 = 20*1.04*1.04*1.04
So, population of butterfly after n years = 20*(1.04*1.04*1.04* .... n times)

Option B is the correct answer.
There were (10500/1.25) = 8400 visitors in 2001.
Explanation:
An increase of 25% means multiplying by 1.25. So, if the visitors from 2001 are multiplied by 1.25, then the result is 10500. Thus, the amount from 2001 was 10500/1.25=8400
Its not larger. 8*10*7 is larger :)
