The city of Norfolkhas been stricken with a disease.Norfolk has 242,808 people living within the city. Scientists say the disease will increase by 65% every hour. There are 57 infected people in Nofolk. how long will it take before the city's population is completely infected.
Can you show work and use the A=p(1+r)^t

-
242808 = 57(1+0.65)^t
t = log(242808/57)/log1.65 = 16.688hrs
t = log(242808/57)/log1.65 = 16.688hrs
