Question

Please help, I'm so confused.

Identify the percent of change in the alligator population using 5000 as an estimate for the population of the alligator in 1967, and 5 million as an estimate for the present day population. Use your results to explain why alligators aren't considered endangered anymore. (Note the part for the percent proportion is the change in population, and the whole is the initial population in 1967)

Answer 1

So Endangered would be that there were very few population but just in 53 years the population has grown 1,000x more. So in that amount of time 4,995,000 Alligators were born. That’s a huge increase, so it’s at the point of far from endangered the population isn’t scarce anymore.

Answer 2
