Answer: 23
Step-by-step explanation:
The exponential growth equation is given by :-
[tex]y=A(1+r)^x[/tex], where A is the initial amount , r is the rate of growth and x is the time period.
Given : The initial population of deer :A= 200
Rate of growth: r= 15% = 0.15
Time period x=1
Now, substitute value of A, r ant x in the above eqn :-
[tex]y=200(1+0.15)^1=230[/tex]
Hence, the population of deer in next year = 230
