The possible number of rabbits on the island for the year 2023 is 12,500.

How to calculate the number of rabbits that increases each year?

To calculate the number of rabbits that increase each year, we must subtract the number of rabbits that were in 2013 and subtract the number that rabbits were in 2008.

  • 8900 - 7100 = 1800

Later, we divide this value in the number of elapsed years (5)

  • 1800 ÷ 5 = 360

According to the above, it can be stated that each year the rabbit population increases by 360.

Later, we multiply the number of rabbits that should be in 2023 is 12500

  • 360 × 10 = 3600
  • 3600 + 8900
