Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We can find the final population of foxes in 2020 using the compound interest formula
[tex]A=P(1+r/n)^nt[/tex]
A=final population
P=initial population=23,900
r= rate of interest=0.09
n=number of times interest applied per time period=1
t=number of time periods elapsed=8years
upon equating all these values we get
[tex]A= 23900(1+0.09/1)^1*8\\[/tex] = [tex]47,800[/tex](approx.)
