A particular bacteria under study triples in population every 24 hours if left untreated. Once an organism gets contact with this bacteria, initially an average count of 8 may be acquired and is notable to be enough to potentially increase and harm the organism. If no treatment will be given for a week, how many bacteria are expected to grow in population in the organism?
