Sam lives near a lagoon in the Caribbean that is populated by flamingos. Sam decides to figure out approximately how many flamingos live in the area. He catches 45 flamingos, put tags on them, and releases them. Later, he catches 280 flamingos, 30 of which are tagged. To the nearest whole number, what is the best estimate for the flamingo population?

The answer is 270 cars.you can do this by making a proportional relationship. for instance, 200 is the whole we are using, so on a “number line” 200 would be over 100%. now, since he sells 35% more, add 35% to 100% to get 135% on the other side of the “number line” on the bottom half, leaving the top half empty.cross multiply 200 by 135 then divide by 100 to get your answer. i hope this , if it did, , if you don’t mind, giving me brainiest! 200/100% } 200 • 135 /100 ? /135%
