at a pet store, 38% of the animals are dogs. if there are a total of 88 animals at the pet store, write a proportion can be used to find x, the numbers of dogs at the pet store

Verified Answer :

percent all=100
all=88

parts/whole

x/38=88/100
that is the proportion
if we solve
x=33.44
uh oh
how do we have 0.44 dogs

anyway, the proprtion is x/38=88/100
