It is reported that the grizzly bear population has increased by 140% since 1975.

There are now 600 grizzly bears living in the wild.

How many grizzly bears were there in 1975?

Answer: 250 grizzly bears

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write an equation:

The population of grizzly bears in 1975 (x) multiplied by the 140% increase (1 + 140/100) will be equal to the actual population (600)

600 = x (1 + 140/100)

600 = x (2.4)

600/2.4 = x

250 = x
