Answer:
You have 168 butterflies
Step-by-step explanation:
Total no. of eggs = 300
Only 70% of those eggs progress to become a caterpillar
No. of caterpillar = [tex]70\% \times 300[/tex]
No. of caterpillar = [tex]\frac{70}{100} \times 300[/tex]
No. of caterpillar = [tex]210[/tex]
Only 80% of the caterpillar progress to become an adult butterfly
No. of butterfly = [tex]80\% \times 210[/tex]
No. of butterfly = [tex]\frac{80}{100} \times 210[/tex]
No. of butterfly = [tex]168[/tex]
Hence you have 168 butterflies
