QuestionThe number of wolves in a forest increases by 25%25 \% each year. This year, there are 400 wolves in the forest.
Calculate the number of wolves that there will be in the forest a) after 1 year. b) after 2 years.

Studdy Solution
Calculate the number of wolves after 2 years.
Now, we need to calculate 25% of the new number of wolves after 1 year, which is 500.
Increase=0.25×500=125 \text{Increase} = 0.25 \times 500 = 125
Add the increase to the number of wolves after 1 year:
500+125=625 500 + 125 = 625
Thus, after 2 years, there will be 625 wolves in the forest.
The number of wolves after 1 year is 500 \boxed{500} and after 2 years is 625 \boxed{625} .
