    63 fossilized snail shells

    Step-by-step explanation:

    We know that the total number of fossils (100%) left parenthesis, is 300. We need to find out how many are fossilized snail shells, which are 21% of the total.

    We can first divide by 100 to see how many fossils 1% would be, then multiply by 21 to see how many fossilized snail shells 2% equals.

    There are 63 fossilized snail shells in Elmer's collection.
