Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Growth can be represented by the equation [tex]A=A_01.02^{t}[/tex]. We know that r=2% or 0.02 in this situation so we have 1.02. We know t=100 hours and the starting population A=200. We substitute these values and use a calculator to evaluate.

[tex]A=A_01.02^{t}\\A=200(1.02)^{100}[/tex]

We now use our calculator to evaluate the exponent first and then multiply by 200.

[tex]A=200(7.2446)=1448.93[/tex]
