The size of the colony after 10 days is  852.

What is the size of the colony after 10 days?

The growth rate of the colony can be represented with an exponential equation with the form:

FV = P(1 + r)^n

Where:

  • p = present population
  • r = rate of growth
  • n = growth factor = 10 days / 2 days = 5

55(1.73)^5 = 852
