Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find out how many individuals will be born in the next year, we need to take 10% of the current population and add it to the current population.

10% of 200 squirrels = 0.10 x 200 = 20 squirrels

So, there will be 20 new individuals born in the next year, making the new population 220 squirrels.

Therefore, the best choice is C) 20.
