I got .2104

Someone correct me if I'm incorrect. I'm sure you can figure it out.

We also need the first half of the question ... the part you didn't copy ... the part
that lists the different species of animals in the shelter and how many there are
of each.

I realize that several times, a problem will include information that's not needed in
order to solve it, but this is not one of those times. We need all of the information
that's there, with the possible exception of the name of the city where the shelter
is located.
