At first I thought this was referring to Polaris' tenure as the North Star, since the Earth's axial precession means what is the "north star" changes over time, but NOPE, the star itself is estimated to be 70 million years old, and sharks have been around for 450 million years. Mind blown.
Reminder to new users here:
Cladistically, there is no such thing as a fish or a tree. Also, sharks have existed longer than Polaris, the North Star has.

Percentages are basically multiplication, and thus follow the commutative property and can be shuffled around accordingly. 25% of 128 is the same as 128% of 25, and may be easier to solve in your head.
