Question

Given the illustration and values below, determine the concentration of the original sample. Report results in CFU/mL or colony-forming unit/milliliter. Note that in order to observe the accuracy of results, culture plates with countable colonies between 25-250 CFU are considered in standard bacterial plate count.
