Question 1112354
The relative growth rate for a certain type of bacteria population is 85% per hour. A small culture has formed and in just 2 hours the count shows to be 12,500 bacteria in the culture. What is the initial number of bacteria in the culture? 
-------------------------------
12,500 = No*(1.85)^2
----------
No = 3562
