            At given conditions,  it would be  FAR  from an effective way to solve the problem,  following given instruction.

            So,  I will solve it in a way  HOW  IT  SHOULD  be done.


The annual growth multiplicative factor is 1.08.


In 2020, 15 years after 2005, the rabbit population will be


    1000%2A1.08%5E15 = 3172,   rounded to the nearest integer number.    ANSWER

Solved.
