I’m having trouble please help!

Answer 1

There are 110 big dogs housed at the dog shelter.

Explanation:

Given:

Total Number of Dogs = 275 dogs;

Also Given:

They noted 6 out of 15 dogs are big.

We need to find the Number of big dogs are housed at dog shelter.

Solution:

First we will find the percentage of Big dogs.

Now Given:

They noted 6 out of 15 dogs are big.

Percentage can be calculated by dividing 6 with 15 and then multiplying by 100 we get;

framing in equation form we get;

Percentage of big dogs =
`(6)/(15) * 100 = 40\%`

Hence There are 40% big dogs.

No Number of big dogs can be calculated by multiplying Percentage of big dogs with Total number of dogs and then dividing by 100.

framing in equation form we get;

Number of big dogs
`(40)/(100){*275= 110\ dogs.`

Hence There are 110 big dogs housed at the dog shelter.
