A natural disaster caused a population of 4,695 organisms to migrate to a new habitat.

A few generations after the disaster, it was observed that the new habitat didn’t support the survival of the species. The table shows the population of the species in the two habitats.

Original Habitat New Habitat
4,695 2,326

Answer:

49.54%

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Number of organisms in original habitat = 4695

Number of organism in new habitat = 2326

Solution:

To find the percentage of the organisms in the new habitat that has migrated to the new habitat, we use the expression below:

% of the population in the new habitat = [tex]\frac{number of organisms in new habitat}{number of organisms in original habitat}[/tex] x 100

% of the population in the new habitat = [tex]\frac{2326}{4695}[/tex] x 100 = 49.54%

Answer:

The population in the new habitat is about 49.54% percent of the original population.

Explanation:

Initial population of organisms in their original habitat,x = 4,695

Final population of organism in their new habitat after migration = y

y= 2,326

[tex]\%=\frac{\text{Present population}}{\text{Total population}}\times 100[/tex]

[tex]\%=\frac{y}{x}\times 100[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{2,326}{4,695}\times 100=49.54\%[/tex]

The percentage of population is new habitat is 49.54 % of the original population in original habitat.
