Wildlife officials had to rescue and remove seven hundred thirty−five Florida panthers in the past twelve months. It is estimated that there are fifty thousand Florida panthers in existence. What percent of fifty thousand is seven hundred thirty−five?

735/50000 = ?

Multiply your answer by 100 (or move the decimal point two places to the right) to find the percent.

To calculate the percentage of 735 out of 50,000, you need to divide 735 by 50,000 and multiply the result by 100.

The formula would be: (735 / 50,000) * 100

Let's calculate it step by step:

Step 1: Divide 735 by 50,000
735 ÷ 50,000 = 0.0147 (rounded to four decimal places)

Step 2: Multiply the result by 100 to find the percentage
0.0147 * 100 = 1.47

Therefore, 735 is 1.47% of 50,000.
