It is given that the bacteria in a colony doubles every 8 hours.

To find the population of bacteria 24 hours from now, we need to find the population of bacteria after every 8 hours.

The present population of the bacteria is 9315.

After 8 hours, the bacteria becomes double. So, the number of bacteria becomes 9315 x 2 = 18630.

Again after 8 hours, the bacteria becomes 18630 x 2 = 37260.

Again after 8 hours, the bacteria becomes 37260 x 2 = 74520.

Thus, after 24 hours from now, the population of the bacteria is 74520.
