Question

Hiking through the jungle, you realize that 45% of the animals on the island are meat eaters. If there are 700 animals on the island, how many animals put you at risk for becoming their next meal?

Answer 1

315 animals put you at risk for becoming their next meal

Explanation:

This question can be solved using a rule of three.

The number of animals on the island, which is 700, is 100% = 1.

How many animals are 45% = 0.45?

700 animals - 1

x animals - 0.45

x = 700*0.45 = 315

315 animals put you at risk for becoming their next meal
