Question

our success rate ,depending on the year,is between 35 and 40 percent ,according to the website,in 2015,234 raptors were taken in based on this data,about how many raptor rescues were successful that year

Answer 1

Number of raptors in 2015: 234

% success: between 35% and 40%

Formula

% =: [number of success rescues / number of total rescues] * 100 =>

number of success rescues = % * number of total rescuess / 100

Number of success rescues:

a) 35 * 234 / 100 = 0.35 * 234 = 81.9

b) 40 * 234 / 100 = 0.40 * 234 = 93.6

Then, the number of raptor rescues that were succesfull was about 82 to 94.
