The number of bears that will be in the protected area the following year is equal to 444 bears.
Given the following data:
- Population of bears = 374.
- Rate of increment = 18.8% per year = 0.188
To calculate how many (quantity) bears will be in the area the following year:
First of all, we would determine the number of increment for the first year.
[tex]First \;year = population \times rate\\\\First \;year = 374 \times 0.188[/tex]
First year = 70.312 ≈ 70 bears.
For the following year:
[tex]Second\;year = population + first\;year\\\\Second\;year =374+70[/tex]
Second year = 444 bears.
