Question

4) 6 out of the 80 dogs in a shelter were adopted yesterday. Express adopted rate as a percent.

Answer 1

Explanation:

To find the adoption rate as a percentage, we need to divide the number of dogs adopted by the total number of dogs in the shelter, then multiply by 100.

adoption rate = (dogs adopted / total dogs) * 100%

adoption rate = (6 / 80) * 100%

adoption rate = 0.075 * 100%

adoption rate = 7.5%

Therefore, the adoption rate as a percent is 7.5%.
