Q. The local animal shelter recently promoted its adoption program at the shopping mall. Of the 25 animals displayed, 15 were adopted. What percent of the animals were adopted?
Calculate Fraction: First, we need to figure out the fraction of animals that got adopted. So we take the number of animals adopted and divide it by the total number of animals.2515 adopted ÷25 total animals = 0.6
Convert to Percentage: Now, to find the percentage, we multiply the fraction by 100. 0.6×100=60%
