Let's break this down step by step.
Part 1: Write the percent proportion.
The proportion can be written as:
\[ \frac{700}{w} = \frac{200}{100} \]
Part 2: Solve for \( w \).
We can simplify the right side of the proportion:
\[ \frac{200}{100} = 2 \]
So, the equation becomes:
\[ \frac{700}{w} = 2 \]
Now, we can solve for \( w \) by cross-multiplying:
\[ 700 = 2w \]
Next, divide both sides by 2:
\[ w = \frac{700}{2} = 350 \]
Thus, there were 350 rabbits last year.
