### Finding the Rate of Growth Using an Exponential Model

#### Problem Statement:
Suppose a fish population is currently 7000 and 5 years later the population is 11000. Use the explicit exponential model to find the rate of growth. 

#### Instructions:
- Express the rate of growth as a percentage. 
- Round to the nearest tenth.

#### Formula:
To find the rate of growth, we use the exponential growth formula:
\[ P(t) = P_0 \times e^{rt} \]

Where:
- \( P(t) \) is the population at time \( t \).
- \( P_0 \) is the initial population.
- \( r \) is the rate of growth.
- \( t \) is the time in years.

#### Given:
- Initial Population, \( P_0 = 7000 \)
- Population after 5 years, \( P(5) = 11000 \)
- Time, \( t = 5 \) years

#### Steps to Calculate:
1. Substitute the values into the growth formula:
\[ 11000 = 7000 \times e^{5r} \]

2. Rearrange to solve for \( r \):
\[ \frac{11000}{7000} = e^{5r} \]
\[ \ln\left(\frac{11000}{7000}\right) = 5r \]
\[ r = \frac{1}{5} \ln\left(\frac{11000}{7000}\right) \]

3. Use a calculator to find the value of \( r \).

#### Answer Input Box:
- Enter the calculated rate of growth \( r \) as a percentage.
- Round to the nearest tenth.

\[ r = \]
\[ \text{Percentage } (\%) \]

#### Submit Your Answer:
- Once you have calculated the value, enter it into the box and click on the "Submit Question" button.

#### Additional Tools:
- A calculator button is provided for your convenience to help with the calculations. 

#### Example Calculation:
\[ e^{-2} = \frac{1}{e^2} \]
