Question

The local animal shelter expects a 42% decrease in adoptions in october. During September 85 animals were adopted. About how many animals are expected to be adopted in October?​

Answer 1

Answer:

36 animals were expected to be adopted in October

Step-by-step explanation:

42%/100  = 0.42

0.42 * 85 = 35.7

35.7 rounds up to 36 animals! (Since you can't have 0.7 animals XD)

Good luck!!

Answer 2

Answer:

42

___ x 85 = 35.7

100

35.7 rounded would be about 36. Because that is what they are expecting to be adopted.
