Answer 1

Complete question :

A population of 30 deer are introduced into a wildlife sanctuary. It is estimated that the sanctuary can sustain 600 deer. The population would grow by 30 percent per year

how many after one year

how many after two years

Answer:

39 deers

51 deers

Step-by-step explanation:

The question can be expressed using the compounding rate formula:

A = P(1+r)^t

A = final population ; P = initial population ; rate, r = 30% = 0.3 ; t = time

After 1 year, t = 1

A = 30(1 + 0.3)^1

A = 30(1.3)^1

A = 39 deers

B.)

After 1 year, t = 2

A = 30(1 + 0.3)^2

A = 30(1.3)^2

A = 50.7

A = 51 deers approximately
