315 animals put you at risk for becoming their next meal

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved using a rule of three.

The number of animals on the island, which is 700, is 100% = 1.

How many animals are 45% = 0.45?

700 animals - 1

x animals - 0.45

x = 700*0.45 = 315

315 animals put you at risk for becoming their next meal
