Question

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer Should be 70

Explanation:

Because I took the test lol

Answer 2

Let the Total Number of Nests the Group found in the Season be : N

Given : 40% of the Total Nests the Group found in the Season = 28

$\mathsf{\implies 40\% \;of\;Total\;Nests(N) = 28}$

$\mathsf{\implies (\frac{40}{100} \times N) = 28}$

$\mathsf{\implies (\frac{4}{10} \times N) = 28}$

$\mathsf{\implies N = (\frac{28 \times 10}{4})}$

$\mathsf{\implies N = (7 \times 10)}$

$\mathsf{\implies N = 70}$

The Total Number of Nests the Group found during that Season : 70
