It would be A. 0.65
0.5x0.5+1,2(0.5+0.5+0.5+0.5)x0.4
Answer:
Marco- 10 is the starting value of the population. 2 is the growth rate of "double each day" with d as an exponent.
Isabella- 1 is the starting population. 1+0.2=1.2 is the rate at which it grows each day.
Step-by-step explanation:
Marco's equation should be
since the bacteria double each day. 10 is the starting value of the population. 2 is the growth rate of "double each day" with d as an exponent. This will double each day because:
Day 1 is 
Day 2 is 
Day 3 is 
Day 4 is 
You'll notice the value doubles each day.
Isabella has a different equation because her population increases by a percentage. We use the simple interest formula to calculate the bacteria's daily increase or interest.
1(1+0.2)d
1 is the starting population.
1+0.2=1.2 is the rate at which it grows each day.
Not 100 % but I would think as likely as not because you have the same amount of both. 1/2 the chance
