If a microbiologist cultured 3000 cells at a rate of 7% how many days will it take for 360 new cells to reproduce

1.675 days

Step-by-step explanation:

If 3000 cells are cultured at a daily growth rate of 7%, the expression that describes the total population after 't' days is:

When 360 cell are reproduced, the total population is 3000 + 360, and the time required for that condition to occur is:

It will take 1.675 days for 360 new cells to reproduce.

arrange the equations with like terms in columns.

analyze the coefficients of x or y.

add the equations and solve for the remaining variable.

substitute the value into either equation and solve.

check the solution.
