A biochemist is testing two types of drugs that induce cell growth and replication. She starts with 1000 cells for each of the two drugs tested. Drug A raises the number of cells by 200 cells each day. Drug B induces an 8% increase in the number of cells each day. Which statement is true about the number of cells after 30 days?
