If we are to derive the equation that models the growth of the amoeba, we make use of the general form:
p = po k^t
where po is the initial population
k is the multiplicative rate of change
From the problem
3po = po k^(20)
k = 1.06
The equation is
p = 800 (1.06)^t
where's the rest of the question to complete the answer
97.5 is the answer: its simply just 7.80 x 12.5
