If a population grew 35% in a year and started at 500 what is the ending population?

To find the ending population, we can multiply the initial population by 1 plus the growth rate.

The growth rate is given as 35%, which can be written as 0.35. Thus, the growth factor is 1 + 0.35 = 1.35.

The ending population is found by multiplying the initial population by the growth factor:

Ending population = 500 * 1.35 = 675.

Therefore, the ending population is 675.
