Answer:

2200

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

550

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write a proportion to find the total amount using the information given. A proportion is two equivalent ratios set equal to each other. Since we know the population increased to 200% of last year and is 1,100.

200/100 = 1100/y

We will cross multiply the numerator of one ratio with denominator of the other. And then solve for y.

200y=100(1100)

200y=110,000

y=550

There was 550 rabbits last year.
