At an animal shelter there are 15dogs, 12 cats, 3 snakes and 5 parakeets . What percent of the number of cats is the number of dogs?

Respuesta :

Total number of animals at the shelter = 15 + 12 +3 + 5 = 35 animals.
Let the total number of animals be represented by 100%
There are 15 dogs and 12 cats so:
% Number of dogs  = 15/35 x 100% = 42.86%
% Number of cats  = 12/35 x 100%  =  34.28%
