Escherichia coli is a bacteria that can cause food poisoning if people eat contaminated food or drink. In the laboratory, Escherichia coli can triple every hour. If the bacteria
count in a sample contaminated water is found to be 50 after the first hour, how long will
it be until the count exceeds 100 000? Express your answer in hours. Use the explicit
formula for your solution. Express your answer to two decimal places

In order to find the price per bar, we divide the price by the amount of bars.   for the first one: 15.37/10 = $1.54 per barthe second package: 15.35/12 = $1.28 per bar.the 10-pack costs $1.54 per bar and the 12-pack costs $1.28 per bar.   the 12-pack has the better price per bar.now, let's look at the price per ounce.   we do this in a similar way.   we find the total amount of ounces in the package, and divide the price by the number of ounces.in the first package, we multiply 10*2.1=21.   we have 21 ounces in the first package.   now we divide 15.37/21.   in the first package, we have 0.73 dollars per ounce.now, let's look at the second package.   we start by multiplying 1.4*12=16.8.   there are 16.8 ounces in the package.   now, we divide 15.35/16.8=0.91.   so, in the second package, we have 0.91 dollars per ounce.the cost per ounce of the 10-pack is $0.73 and the cost per ounce of the 12-pack is $0.91.   the first package has the better price per ounce.the better explanation is the second one, because i prefer the lower price per ounce, i think that the 1st pack is the better buy.

Iam doing the same thing.i think the answer is    ih≅ag
