Question

A population of deer in an area is 500. During the year, 90 fawns are born, and 10% of the adult deer are killed by wolves and human hunters. Is the population growing or shrinking, and what is the new population number? They are growing

Answer 1

Well 500 (let's say) are adult deer and 90 are the fawns. 10% of 500 is 50 so 50 were killed while 90 fawns were born. They are growing because 90-50=40. So they grew by 40 fawns. So. 500-50+90=540 or 500+40=540.
