It took 10 years for the number of turkeys to double

What is growth?

Growth is the increase in the value of an asset or cost or population at a certain rate over a certain period of time.

Original number of turkeys = 45

Rate of growth = 2.3 %

Time  = 10 years

Number of turkeys after 10 years = [tex]45 \times (1 + \frac{2.3}{100})^{10}[/tex]

                                                       = 57

Now,

New number of turkeys = 45 [tex]\times[/tex]2 = 90

[tex]90 = 45 \times (1 + \frac{2.3}{100})^n[/tex]

[tex](1 + \frac{2.3}{100})^n = \frac{90}{45}\\\\1.023^n = 2\\n\ ln (1.023) = ln( 2)\\n \times 0.023 = 0.693\\n = \frac{0.693}{0.023}\\n = 30.1 \ years[/tex]

It took 10 years for the number of turkeys to double
