The expression to find the population of fruit flies Lavania observed after 6 days is 9 + 5 * 20 and the value is 109

How to  write and evaluate an expression to find the population of fruit flies Lavania observed after 6 days?

The given parameters are

Day 1 = 20 fruit flies

Day 6 = 9 more than 5 times as many fruit flies on day 1

The above expression can be rewritten as

Day 6 = 9 + 5 * Day 1

This gives

Day 6 = 9 + 5 * 20

Evaluate the product

Day 6 = 9 + 100

Evaluate the sum

Day 6 = 109

Hence, the expression to find the population of fruit flies Lavania observed after 6 days is 9 + 5 * 20 and the value is 109
