Given:
A population of rabbits is growing at the rate of 23% per annum.
Required:
To find the number of years that the population would double.
Explanation:
If growth rate remain constant, total number of years it will take to double the population “n" will be:
[tex]n=\frac{70}{r}[/tex](where r is annual growth rate)
Hence, for your question it would be
[tex]\begin{gathered} n=\frac{70}{25} \\ \\ n=2.8 \\ \\ n\approx3 \end{gathered}[/tex]Final Answer:
3 years.
