In a Petri dish there are currently 1,235 bacteria. The growth rate of bacteria is 3.25% How many bacteria will be there in the dish after 5 hours

1,436

Step-by-step explanation:

First multiply the growth rate by the number of hours.

3.25 x 5 = 16.25

Now multiply 1,235 by 100. = 123,500

And also multiply 1235 by the remainder percentage not being used(83.75)= 103,060.75

Now subtract 123,500 - 103,060.75 = 20,439.25

Divide this number by 100 = 204.3925 which is what 16.25% of 1,235 is.

1,235 + 204 = about 1,439 but since i rounded up a few times the answer is actually 1,435.6875 rounded up to 1,436
