Alan Chryst is cultivating Venus flytraps in order to plant them in a newly restored refuge that has the appropriate bog habitat. After considerable study by a consulting company, it was determined that, a successful restoration of this species will require 2500 fly traps to be planted there. The site is still being restored, and it is expected that it will be ready for planting in 5 years. Alan currently has 50 plants, and he loses 2% of his plants every year to a fungus. Alan wants to determine the rate at which he must reproduce these plants. For every plant he has in his possession, how many offspring must Alan produce from that plant to reach his quota in 5 years?
