Aculture started with 6000 bacteria after 6 hours it grew to 7200 bacteria predict how many bacteria will be present after 17 hours

Hey there!

In order to solve this, we'll have to find how many additional bacteria the culture gains per hour. We can do this with some simple math:

7200 – 6000 = 1200

1200 ÷ 6 = 200

The culture gains 200 more bacteria per hour. Now, just multiply that by 17 hours and add that to the initial amount in the culture. 

200 × 17 = 3400

3400 + 6000 = 9400

There will be a total of 9400 bacteria in the culture after 17 hours. 

Hope this helped you out! :-)
