On a high school campus of 1,500 students, one student spreads a rumor about a high school prank. The total number of students on the campus that hear the rumor after t hours is modeled by \[R(t)=\frac{ 1500 }{ 1+49e ^{-0.23t} }\] . According to this model, how many students initially heard this rumor?

Also another question is The most students that could hear this rumor is 2000. IS that false because there are only 1500 on campus
