If a population of 200 squirrels has a 10 percent growth rate each year, how many individuals will there be in the population after 3 years (assume that no deaths occur during this period)

For this case we have a function of the form:

y = A * (b) ^ t

Where,

A: initial amount

b: growth rate

t: time

Substituting values we have:

y = 200 * (1.10) ^ (t)

For 3 years we have:

y = 200 * (1.10) ^ (3)

y = 266.2

Rounding off we have:

y = 266

Answer:

there will be 266 squirrels in the population after 3 years
