The estimated population of the sea turtles for that location is 160 turtles  

Let b represent the total turtles in the location.

<h3>Data obtained from the question</h3>
  • Marked turtle = 40
  • Captured turtle = 60
  • Captured marked turtle = 15
  • Total turtle = b =?

The estimated turtles in sea can be obtained as follow:

Mark in sea / Total in sea = captured marked turtle / Captured turtle

40 / b = 15 / 60

Cross multiply

b × 15 = 40 × 60

b × 15 = 2400

Divide both side by 15

b = 2400 / 15

b = 160 turtles

Thus, the estimated turtles in the sea is 160 turtles
