Farmer Brown purchased several rabbits (male and female) and bred them on his farm. The rabbit population grew 500% the first year. The population grew 900% the second year. What was the percent, population growth for the two year?  Select:  A) 100%  B) 5,000%  C) 2000%  D) 2500%  E) 500%
Let x be the initial population of rabbits Farmer Brown purchased; then, x + 5x is the rabbit population after the first year, and 5x + 9(5x) = 50x is the rabbit population after the second year.
