Question

A scientist evaluated the local deer population. The scientist found that there were 110 juveniles and 90 adults in the local population. What percentage of the deer were juveniles?

Answer 1

55%

Explanation:

To find the percentage of juveniles in the local deer population, we need to calculate the proportion of juveniles in the total population and convert it to a percentage.

First, find the total number of deer in the population by adding the number of juveniles and adults:

110 juveniles + 90 adults = 200 deer

Next, divide the number of juveniles by the total number of deer and multiply by 100 to convert to a percentage:

110 juveniles / 200 deer * 100 = 55%

Therefore, 55% of the local deer population were juveniles.
