Answer:

140

Step-by-step explanation:

- 143,622 bacteria present on day 15

- the bacteria doubles twice a day

that means each day backwards, the bacteria is four times less the day before

therefore:

- on day 14, the number of bacteria is 143,622 / 4

which is 35,905.5

and so on!

so:

- day 13 = 8,976.375

- day 12 = 2,244.09375

- day 11 =  561.0234375

- day 10 = 140.255859375

this rounded to the nearest whole number is

= 140 bacteria

(you can't have a part of a bacteria!)

hope this helps! :)
