The local animal shelter had 12 dogs at the beginning of the week. Since then, the number of dogs at the shelter has decreased by 9. What is the percent change in the number of dogs at the animal shelter this week?

Answer:

75%

Explanation:

The answer is 75% because if 3/4 of the dogs have been adopted, and each 3 dogs = 25% and 9 dogs are gone, then 9 = 75%. Leaving 3 dogs left.

P.S

Have an Amazing Day!
