There was a population of 240 moose in a National Park. After a year, the population increased by 25%.

How many moose are there in the park now?

Population of moose in the national park = 240

percentage increase in the population of moose in the national park after a year = 25%

Then

Amount of increase in the population

Of moose in the national park in a year = (25/100) * 240

= 240/4

= 60

So

The number of moose present after 1 year

in the national park = 240 + 60

= 300

So from the above deduction we can easily conclude that the number of moose in the national park after a year is 300.

Hi

Initial population = 100%

Final population = 100% + 25% = 125%

240 ⇒ 100%

x ⇒ 125%

100x = 125·240

100x = 30,000

x = (30,000) / 100

x = 300

Answer: The number of moose in National Park is 300
