In 2006, researchers collected 1526.3 g of insects from malaise traps at one location. into thousand 16, they collected 70% of the amount collected in 2006. how many grams of insects did they collect in 2016

1068.41 grams of insects were collected by researchers in 2016

Solution:

Given that,

Grams of insects collected in 2006 = 1526.3 grams

Amount of grams collected in 2016 = 70 % of amount collected in 2006

We need to determine the grams collected in 2016

As In 2016 , they collected 70% of the amount collected in 2006 , it means  

Grams of insects collected in 2016 = 70 % of the amount collected in 2006

= 70% of 1526.3 g  

70 % can be converted to fraction by dividing 70 by 100

Hence 1068.41 grams of insects were collected by researchers in 2016.
