I think 517.26
I did 10 times 3^2 (9) it equals 90. Then 90 times 3.14 and got 282.74. Then did 800- 282.74 and got 517.26
Answer is A or your first option.
Let us assume the initial number of bacteria in the culture = xAfter 1 hour,The number of bacteria = 185x/100 = 1.85xAfter 2 hours,The number of bacteria = (185 * 1.85x)/100 = 3.42xSo3.42x = 12500x = 12500/3.42 = 3654.97 = 3655From the above deduction, we can conclude that the initial number of bacteria in the culture is 3655.
You divide then you square root the answer. once you get the answer you squate root again giving you 1.2
