Answer:

94, 956

Explanation:

Given that of the 97221 adult penguins in the island, 97.67% of them being Adélie penguins then it means to get the actual number of Adélie penguins will be rhe product of percentage and the total population.

Therefore, Adélie penguins will be


\frac {97.67}{100}* 97221=94,955.7507

Since Adélie penguins can't be in decimal, this is rounded off to be 94, 956

Therefore, the number is 94, 956
