if a flock of 45 turkeys shows a constant growth rate of 2.3%, how many turkeys will be in the population after 10 years? show your work. how long would it take the flock of turkeys in the above problem to double in population?

Sagot :

By using the concept of growth, it can be calculated that

Number of turkeys after 10 years  = 57

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
