Answer:
We are given that 36% of the 47,677 species are threatened with extinction.
We are required to find the number of species that are currently under threat.
So we are required to find the value of 36% of 47,677
[tex]36\% of47677[/tex]
[tex]\frac{36}{100} \times 47677[/tex]
[tex]0.36 \times 47677[/tex]
[tex]17163.72 \approx 17164[/tex]
Hence, there are 17164 species that are currently threatened.
