Out of 800 identified living species of cephalopods, 300 are octopuses. About what percent of cephalopods are octopuses? About what percent are not?
To find the percentage of octopuses among the identified living species of cephalopods, you need to divide the number of octopuses (300) by the total number of cephalopod species (800) and then multiply by 100.
Percentage of octopuses = (Number of octopuses / Total number of cephalopods) * 100
Percentage of octopuses = (300 / 800) * 100 = 37.5%
Therefore, approximately 37.5% of identified living species of cephalopods are octopuses.
To find the percentage of cephalopods that are not octopuses, you can subtract the percentage of octopuses from 100.
Percentage of cephalopods that are not octopuses = 100 - Percentage of octopuses
Percentage of cephalopods that are not octopuses = 100 - 37.5% = 62.5%
Therefore, approximately 62.5% of identified living species of cephalopods are not octopuses.
