Answer 19

Since it says "15 loggerhead turtle nests along a beach during a certain season. This was 20% of the total number"

U wanna first convert 20% into a decimal

\[20 \div 100=0.2\]

Now divide again

\[15 \div 0.2=(blank)\]

There is a calculator u can use.


(ye sorry i confused u, I was solving it wrong for a minute//)
