Question

In one particular suburb, there are 18 families that own a pug. If there are a total of 24 families that own a dog in general, then what percentage of dog owners have a pug? Round your answer to the nearest whole number if necessary.​

Answer 1

75% of people own a dog

Answer 2

75% of people own a dog.

Explanation:

We apply the percentage formula in this problem

Total People * X/100 = Groups of people

Fill in the values

24 * X/100 = 18

We now Simplify the equation.

After simplifying you should get X=75, meaning 75% of people own a dog.
