Question

In a laboratory, the count of bacteria in a certain experiment was increasing at the rate of 2.5% per hour. Find the bacteria at the end of 2 hours if the count was initially 5,06,000.

Answer 1

Here, Principal (P) = 5,06,000, Rate of Interest (R) = 2.5%, Time (n) = 2 hours 

After 2 hours, number of bacteria,

Hence, number of bacteria after two hours are 531616 (approx.).
