Question

A population of 50 deer are introduced into a wildlife sanctuary. It is estimated that the sanctuary can sustain up to 400 deer. Absent constraints, the population would grow by 90% per year.
Estimate the population after one year
p1 =___________Estimate the population after two years

p2=_____________

Answer 1

Answer:

p1= 95, p2 = 180

Step-by-step explanation:

We have population : 50 given that population grows by 90% per year

So, After one year: new population (p1) will be

p1 = 50 + 50*0.9 = 50 + 45 = 95

Now, After two years: new population (p2) will be

p2 = 95 + 95*0.9 = 95 + 85.5 (approximately = 86) = 95 + 86 = 180

Therefore,

p1 = 95, and p2 = 180.

Answer 2

Answer:

As in the problem states that 90% incremental in population  each year

P1=50+0.9*50

p1=95

P2=95+0.9*95=180
