    There were 490 deer.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Write it as a proportion

    7/3 = x/210

    Cross Multiply

    1470 = 3x

    Solve for x

    490 deer.

    The answer is 499 because if you set up a proportion you cross multiply the 7 and the 210 and you divide it by 3 which equals 490
