A chipmunk population is experiencing exponential growth with a population growth rate of 265 individuals/year, and a per capita rate of increase of 0.15. How many chipmunks are currently in this population

Respuesta :

Answer:

There are 1766 chipmunks in the population

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of individuals increasing per year = 265

Rate of increase = 0.15

Rate of increase = increase in number of individuals in a given population /total population

Substituting the given values, we get -

0.15 = (265/total population)

Total population = 265/0.15 = 1766
