We can use the formula for compound interest (which also applies to population growth in this case) to solve this problem.

The formula is , where:

 is the final amount (the number of rabbits after  years).

 is the initial population, which is  rabbits.

 is the growth rate expressed as a decimal. Here, .

 is the number of years, and in this case  years.

Now we substitute these values into the formula:
