<PRE><B>Question 617275</B>
To determine the number of deer in a game preserve, a conservationist catches 375 deer, tags them and lets them loose. Later, 732 deer are caught; 183 of them are tsgged. How many deer are in the preserve? 
How many deer are in the preserve? ____deer
----------------------------------------------------- 
pop/tagged =  captured/tagged when captured
---
x/375 = 732/183
x = 375(732/183) = 1500 (population estimate)
