If the population increased 5 times in six months (5 = 100/20),


then, with the same exponential growing rate, at the end of the year (two six-months periods)

the population will be  100*5 = 500 rabbits.    ANSWER

Solved.

The solution does not require this given rate of 0.268 - it is UNNECESSARY and EXCESSIVE data.
