Question 119

A fish population starts at 1600 and grows by 12.5% each season for 2 seasons. Enter the final number of fish.

Correct answer

2025

Explanation

Each season makes the population 112.5% of its current size, so 1600 × 112.5 / 100 × 112.5 / 100 = 2025. Adding two fixed increases of 200 would give 2000 and miss growth on the first season's increase.
