Respuesta :

Given that the growth rate of the population is 20% .

Since the population starts at 320, the population an hour later will be:

[tex]\begin{gathered} (\frac{20}{100}\text{ }\ast\text{ 320) + 320} \\ =\text{ 64 + 320} \\ =\text{ }384 \end{gathered}[/tex]

This means that after an hour, the population will be 384
