The rabbit population in a forest area grows at the rate of 7% monthly if there are 220 rabbits in april find how many rabbits run to the nearest whole number should be expected by next april

The answer is 404. The rabbit population grows at the rate of 7% monthly or 7x12 = 84% annually. At the end of one year there would be 84% more rabbits. So if we start at 220 rabbits in April, until next April you would expect an 84% increase which comes up to 404.8 or 404 rabbits (1.84 * 220).
