19939

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok ...

First day, day 0 32 people were infected

People remaining healthy is = 7174-32

= 7142

So 0.11 of people remaining healthy are infected everyday.

For extra 12 days

Let's know the number that will be infected.

T0 = 32

T12 = T0 + 7142e (-12*0.11)

T12 = To + 1997.88

T12 = 32 + 1997.88

T12 = 19939
