In a bullfrog population, 30.5 percent of the females survive to breed each year, at which time they produce an average of 4025 offspring (half of these being female, half being male). The bullfrogs do not reproduce when lx = 1.0. This breeding schedule continues until the end of a female's third breeding year at which time she dies of old age. Compute the net reproductive rate "Ro", for this population.

I'm not sure what equations to use to figure this out?
