Answer:

768 bugs

Step-by-step explanation:

You can rewrite this problem as a function as time where the bug population is f(x), and x is the number of days since the start.

f(x)=6*2^(x/5)

Here, the 6 represents the number of bugs that you start with, the two shows that they double every day, and the /5 shows that they double every 5 days.

By plugging in 35, you get 6*2^7, which is 768.
