1068.41 grams of insects were collected by researchers in 2016
Solution:
Given that,
Grams of insects collected in 2006 = 1526.3 grams
Amount of grams collected in 2016 = 70 % of amount collected in 2006
We need to determine the grams collected in 2016
As In 2016 , they collected 70% of the amount collected in 2006 , it means
Grams of insects collected in 2016 = 70 % of the amount collected in 2006
= 70% of 1526.3 g
70 % can be converted to fraction by dividing 70 by 100
[tex]=\frac{70}{100} \times 1526.3=1068.41 \mathrm{g}[/tex]
Hence 1068.41 grams of insects were collected by researchers in 2016.
