Question

An individual works at a pet store. There are 27 dogs up for adoption. At the end of the day, only 7 were not adopted. What is the percentage of dogs that were adopted

Answer 1

`\% = 74.1\%`

Explanation:

Given

`Total = 27`

`Not\ Adopted = 7`

Required

Determine the percentage of the adopted dogs

First, we need to determine the number of adopted dogs.

`Adopted + Not\ Adopted = Total`

`Adopted + 7 = 27`

`Adopted = 27-7`

`Adopted = 20`

The percentage is calculated as follows:

`\% = (Adopted)/(Total) * 100\%`

`\% = (20)/(27) * 100\%`

`\% = (20 * 100\%)/(27)`

`\% = (2000\%)/(27)`

`\% = 74.1\%`
