There are 32 insects in the population after 8 weeks

How to complete the equation?

The given parameters are:

  • Initial value, a = 16
  • Rate, r = 9% or 0.09

Let the number of weeks be x.

So, the future amount is

Future Amount = a * (1 + r)^x

This gives

Future Amount = 16 * (1 + 0.09)^x

At the 8th week, we have:

Future Amount = 16 * (1 + 0.09)^8

Evaluate

Future Amount = 32

Hence, there are 32 insects in the population after 8 weeks
