An entomologist is studying the growth rate of various insect species in a controlled environment. For one particular species being studied in the controlled environment, an exponential model predicts that a population with an initial measurement of 10 organisms will increase by 160% every 22 days. Which equation represents this model, where $y$ is the predicted number of organisms in the population $x$ days since the initial measurement?

A

$y=10(1.60{)}^{22x}$

B

$y=10(2.60{)}^{22x}$

C

$y=10(1.60{)}^{x/22}$

D

$y=10(2.60{)}^{x/22}$
