5. Synthesize Sea turtles can lay 50 to 200 eggs in a nest. Predators eat or

destroy some of the eggs. Turtles that hatch from the eggs face many

challenges as they head to the ocean. As they crawl over steep sandy slopes,

through seaweed, or around obstacles, predators might attack. Using your

data from the Math Toolbox, write an expression and use it to calculate the

percent hatched. Then, estimate the number of sea turtles from a nest of 100

eggs in Naples that you think could reach the ocean safely. Express your

estimate as a percentage and explain your reasoning.
