Answer:
260 people own a dog.
Explanation:
Think of the equation as this:
65% of 400 people own a dog.
Since "of" in a math equation means to multiply, replace of with a multiplication sign.
65% * 400 = 260 people own a dog.
To check you're answer, make the fraction 260/400 into a percent.
260/400 = 65%
Have a nice day!!! ;D
