Explanation:

Step1: Identify the number of animals at Drake's Beach and the total number of animals

The number of animals at Drake's Beach is \(62\), and the total number of animals is \(154\).

Step2: Use the percentage formula

The percentage formula is \(\text{Percentage}=\frac{\text{Part}}{\text{Whole}}\times100\).
Substitute the values: \(\text{Percentage}=\frac{62}{154}\times 100\).
Calculate \(\frac{62}{154}\times100=\frac{6200}{154}\approx 40.26\).

Answer:

\(40\%\)
