Question

Select the correct answer pls!!

Answer 1

Answer:

35 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Current deer population, P0 = 800

Growth rate = 20% yearly

For the population to double in size, P = 2 * P0 = 2 * 800 = 1600

t = number of years

Using the relation :

P =P0(1 + r)^t

1600 = 800(1 + 0.2)^t

1600 / 800 = (1.02)^t

2 = (1.02)^t

t = log2 / log(1.02)

t = (0.3010299 / 0.0086001)

t = 35.003069

t = 35 years
