Answer 1

`\boxed{8900; 61 \, \%}`

Step-by-step explanation:

The total estimated population (P) is

`P = \text{115 ha} * \frac{\text{ 77 beetles}}{\text{1 ha}} = \textbf{8900 beetles}\\\\\begin{array}{rcl}\text{ \% K} & = & \frac{\text{Population}}{K} * 100 \, \% \\\\& = & (8900)/(14 600) * 100 \, \% \\\\ & = & \mathbf{61 \, \%}\\\end{array}\\\text{The population is now at }\boxed{\mathbf{61 \, \%}} \text{ of carrying capacity}`
