Wildlife biologists catch, tag, and then release 120 deer back into a wildlife refuge. Two weeks later they observe a sample of 150 deer, 25 which are tagged. Assuming the ratio of tagged deer in the sample holds for all deer in the refuge, approximately how many deer are in the refuge?

    25 tagged deers, 125 deers not tagged

    total of 120 tagged deers

    120/25 = 4.8

    125 x 4.8 = 600

    600 + 120 = 720

    So there are a total of 720 deers in the refuge.
