Question

A natural disaster caused a population of 4,695 organisms to migrate to a new habitat.

Answer 1

Answer:

49.54%

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Number of organisms in original habitat = 4695

Number of organism in new habitat = 2326

Solution:

To find the percentage of the organisms in the new habitat that has migrated to the new habitat, we use the expression below:

 % of the population in the new habitat = $\frac{number of organisms in new habitat}{number of organisms in original habitat}$ x 100

 % of the population in the new habitat = $\frac{2326}{4695}$ x 100 = 49.54%

Answer 2

Answer:

The population in the new habitat is about  49.54% percent of the original population.

Explanation:

Initial population of organisms in their original habitat,x = 4,695

Final population of organism in their new habitat after migration = y

y= 2,326

$\%=\frac{\text{Present population}}{\text{Total population}}\times 100$

$\%=\frac{y}{x}\times 100$

$=\frac{2,326}{4,695}\times 100=49.54\%$

The percentage of population is new habitat is 49.54 % of the original population in original habitat.
