Answer: 550

200% is double of a whole so its basically 2 so you just have to divide 1100 by 2.(I think im not super sure but I hope this is right)

Answer:

550

Explanation:

The rabbit population in a certain area is 200 % of last​ year's population. There are 1,100 rabbits this year. How many were there last​ year?

200% is the same as twice the size of last year

1,100 / 2 = 550
