Answer:
180 rabbits
Step-by-step explanation:
The correct question is
The rabbit population in a certain area is 500% of last years population. There are 900 rabbits this year. How many were there last year?
we know that
900 rabbits represent 500% of last year population
Last year population represent 100%
so
using proportion
Find out how many rabbits represent a percentage of 100%
[tex]\frac{900}{500\%}=\frac{x}{100\%}\\\\x=900(100)/500\\\\x=180\ rabbits[/tex]
