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.
