Brainliest would be awesome thx!

Antibiotics are chemicals and medicines that can impede the growth and infection of the bacteria in other organisms by killing or attenuating them.  

70% of the bacteria are successfully reproduced resistant bacteria.

The resistance can be explained and determined as:

When the bacteria develop immunity and resistance against the use of antibiotics designed for killing them are called resistance towards the antibiotics.

Given,

  • Total number of bacteria = 300

  • Bacteria with mutation and antibiotic resistance = 210

  • Percentage of resistant bacteria:

[tex]\begin{aligned} & = \dfrac {210}{300}\times 100\\\\&= 70\%\end{aligned}[/tex]

Therefore, 70% of the bacteria are antibiotic-resistant.
