Answer:
Population of monkeys after 2 years = 3200
Step-by-step explanation:
Total number of monkeys at the start = 2975
Increase ratio of monkey population one year = [tex]8:7[/tex]
∴ New population of monkeys after 1 year= [tex]Total\ population \times Increase\ ratio = 2975\times \frac{8}{7} =3400[/tex]
Decrease ratio the next year = [tex]16:17[/tex]
∴ Population of monkeys after 2 years= [tex]New\ population \times Decrease\ ratio = 3400\times \frac{16}{17} =3200[/tex]
