A culture of bacteria has an initial population of 37000 bacteria and doubles every 2 hours. Using the formula P = Po·2a, where P is the population after t hours, Po is the initial population, t is the time in hours and d is the doubling time, what is the population of bacteria in the culture after 7 hours, to the nearest whole number?
