Question

You have 17 cats that live in houses on your street, 24 dogs, 3 fish, and 4 hamsters. What percent of animals on your block are dogs?

Answer 1

17+24+3+4=48
So for dogs, 24/48=1/2=50%

Answer 2

50%

Explanation:

How many animals are there

17 cats + 24 dogs + 3 fish + 4 hamsters = 48 pets

To find the percent, we take the number of dogs over the total number of animals

Percent dogs = 24 dogs/ 48 animals = 1/2 = 50 %
