A scientist studies Bacteria Culture A, which grows then percent every hour. Bacteria Culture A initially contained 200 microbes, and she models the growth using the equation n=200(m)^(h) , where n is the number of microbes and h is the number of hours. Q. The same scientist also studies another culture, Bacteria Culture B, which grows 15% every hour. The two cultures began at the same time with the same number of microbes. After 20 hours, how many more microbes will becteria Culture B contain than Bacteria Culture A ? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number).
