Answer:

There are 20,000 Beatles in the total population

Step-by-step explanation:

59 Beatles out of the 2,000 are marked (2.95% or 59/2000)

-----------------------------------------

1 / 0.0295 = 33.8983051

That means that the total population is 33.89 times larger than the 590 marked beatles.

33.8983051 x 590 = 20,0000 Beatles total

Answer:

Approximately 20,000 beetles

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is approximately 20,000 beetles because Joe found 590 beetles and marked them. When he found the other 2,000 beetles, 59 of them were marked. 59 is 10% of 590. Since Joe found 2,000 beetles that must be 10% of some number. To find that number, you must multiply 2,000 by 10. So 2,000 x 10 is 20,000, so there is approximately 20,000 beetles
