Question

the study shows that about 5 percent of dogs in shelyers are purebred. If a shelter has 60 dogs, how many of these are likely purebred? ​

Answer 1

3

Explanation:

5% is converted into the decimal form 0.05. To find 5% of the 60 dogs which are pure bred, multiply 60*0.05 = 3. This means 3 are purebred.

Answer 2

3

Explanation:

To find the number of purebreds, we take the total number of dogs times the percent that are purebred

purebreds = total * percent

purebreds = 60*5%

= 60*.05

=3

There are 3 purebred dogs
