A study was conducted on dolphins born in 2016 in a certain region of the ocean. Ten of the 250 dolphins studied were born with one fin shorter than the other. There were a total of 1000 dolphins born with one fin shorter than the other in 2016 in this region of the ocean.

How many total dolphins were born in 2016 in this region of the ocean?

I believe it’s 40 if you’re trying to ask how many dolphins with short fins in 2016 in that part of the region :)

Answer:

25,000

Explanation:

i think because 10 times 100 gets 1000 so now you have to do 250 times 100 to get 25,000
