The number of rabbits last year is 550
Solution:
Given that rabbit population in a certain area is 200% of last year‘s population
There are 1100 Rabbits this year
To find: Number of rabbits last year
Let "x" be the number of rabbits last year
From given statement,
Number of rabbits this year = 200 % of number of rabbits last year
1100 = 200 % of x
Here "of" means multiplication
[tex]1100 = 200 \% \times x\\\\1100 = \frac{200}{100} \times x\\\\1100 = 2x\\\\x = \frac{1100}{2}\\\\x = 550[/tex]
Thus 550 rabbits were in last year
