Amos · Answer 1

Doubling formula

F=P (2) ^ (t/d)

F=furte amount

P=present amount

t=time elapsed

d=doubling time

F=500 (2) ^ (94/47)

F=500 (2) ^2

F=500 (4)

F=2000

2000 is pop

Enrique Hernandez · Answer 2

I believe that the answer would be 2,000 because 97 divided by 2 is 47 so 500 • 2 = 1,000 • 2 = 2,000
