Answer:

63  fossilized snail shells

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the total number of fossils (100%) left parenthesis, is 300 . We need to find out how many are fossilized snail shells, which are 21% of the total.

We can first divide by 100 to see how many fossils 1% would be, then multiply by 21 to see how  many fossilized snail shells 2% equals.

There are 63 fossilized snail shells in Elmer's collection.
