Answer 1

Answer

Find out the how many people adopted a manatee this year .

To prove

As given

last year 40 people adopted a mantee through Fia's foundation.

This year 15% more people adopted a manatee

15 % is written inthe decimal form

$= \frac{15}{100}$

=0.15

15% of the last year 40 people adopted a mantee  = 0.15 × 40

                                                                                    = 6

Total number of  people adopted a manatee this year = 6 + 40

                                                                                           = 46

Therefore the  people adopted a manatee this year be 46 .

Hence proved
