110.4622 = 110 (as followers cannot be in decimals).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, growth rate is 1% = 0.01.

and it is for every 12 hours.

now, f (x) = f (1 + r) ^t. where f = 100 (initial followers)

r = 0.01.

t = 10 (1 for every 12 hours. so, 5 days = 120 hours = 10 times)

⇒ f (x) = 100 (1+0.01) ¹⁰ = 110.4622 = 110 followers.
