A population of river otters has a population growth rate of 0.2 per year. If the population starts out with 50 individuals and there is no death and no migration, how many individuals would you expect after one year and after two years

Respuesta :

Answer:

1 year= 60

2 year= 72

Step-by-step explanation:

1 year:

There are 50 otters and they grow at a rate of .2 so you multiply 50 by .2 to get 10. Now you just add 50 to 10 because 50 is how much it started as and 10 is how much were born. So the anwser for 1 year is 60.

2 years:

Now you have a start of 60 otters because it is the second year so you multiple 60 by .2 to get 12. Now you add 12 to 60 because the second year started with 60 and 12 were born. SO the anwser is 72.

I hope this helps!
