it is reported that the grizzly bear population has increased by 140% since 1975.
there are now 600 grizzly bears living in the wild.
how many grizzly bears were there living in 1975?

Respuesta :

Answer:

  250

Step-by-step explanation:

If we let p represent the 1975 population, we have ...

  p + 140%×p = 600

  p(1 +1.40) = 600

  p = 600/2.4 = 250

There were 250 grizzly bears living in the wild in 1975.
