The first generation of a population of glasshouse whiteflies (Trialeurodes vaporariorum) had 150 females. Calculate how many female whiteflies would be produced from this population in the fifth generation. You can assume:

(2) 60% of the offspring produced each generation are female;
(3) there is no immigration or emigration;
(4) no whiteflies die before reproducing.
