Answer: 16%
Step-by-step explanation:
The total number of species of shark evaluated = 465
Number of sharks currently endangered or threatened = 74
Percent of sharks endangered = (Number of sharks / Total number of sharks evaluated) x 100%
= (74/465) x 100%
= 0.1591 x 100%
= 15.91%
Round 15.91% to the nearest whole percent = 16%
Thus, 16% of the total sharks evaluated are currently endangered or threatened.
