You can put this solution on YOUR website! A conservationist catches 890 deer, tags them and lets them go.
Later, 356 deer are caught; 178 of them are tagged.
How many deer are in the preserve?
-----------------
pop count/caught and tagged = #caught including tagged/#tagged
----------------------
Your Problem:
pop count/890 = 356/178
---
pop count = 890(356/178)
---
pop count = 1780 deer
