Involve exponential growth. Suppose that a population of $E .$ coli doubles every 20 minutes. A treatment of the infection removes $90 \%$ of the $E .$ coli present and is timed to accomplish the following. The population starts at size $10^{8},$ grows for $T$ minutes, the treatment is applied and the population returns to size $10^{8} .$ Find the time $T$
