    This is an example of an exponential growth problem.

    The formula for this is : y = x (1+r) ^t

    y = final amount

    x = starting amount = 36

    r = rate = 8% = 0.08

    t = time = 11 days

    y = 36 (1+0.08) ^11

    y = 36 (1.08) ^11

    y = 36*2.3316389

    y = 83.94 = 84 people
