Answer: 16%

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of species of shark evaluated = 465

Number of sharks currently endangered or threatened = 74

Percent of sharks endangered = (Number of sharks / Total number of sharks evaluated) x 100%

= (74/465) x 100%

= 0.1591 x 100%

= 15.91%

Round 15.91% to the nearest whole percent = 16%

Thus, 16% of the total sharks evaluated are currently endangered or threatened.
