A model estimates that at the end of each year from 2015 to 2020, the number of rabbits in a population was

170%

more than the number of rabbits in the population at the end of the previous year. The model estimates that at the end of 2016, there were

216

rabbits in the population. Which of the following equations represents this model, where

n

is the estimated number of rabbits in the population

t

years after the end of 2015 and

t \leq 5

n = 80 (1.7)^{t}

n = 80 (2.7)^{t}

n = 216 (1.7)^{t}

n = 216 (2.7)^{t}
