Answer:
15.85%
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Acres damaged (burned) = 6,500 acres
Acres in total forest = 41,000 acres
Hence the amount of damaged forest as a fraction of the total forest,
= [tex]\frac{6500}{41000}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{13}{82}[/tex]
expressed as percentage = [tex]\frac{13}{82}[/tex] x 100% = 15.85%
