Question

The San Diego Zoo houses 37 sea lions. This is roughly 2% of the total seal lion population in California. How many sea lions are there in California?

Answer 1

1850

Explanation:

You would set up a proportion that 2/100 = 37/x. You would cross multiply and get 2x = 3700. You would then divide 3700 by 2 and get 1850.
