Question

10 cows, 26 horses and 4 goats are in a paddock. What is the percentage of animals that are horses?

Answer 1

Answer:

65% of the animals are horses

Step-by-step explanation:

10 cows + 26 horses + 4 goats = 40 animals

Since we’re looking for what percentage of animals are horses:

26(horses)/40(animals) = ?/100%

Divide 26 by 40

0.65

Multiply 0.65 by 100

26/40 = 65%/100%

Answer 2

Answer:

10+26+4=40

in total there is 40 animals

because there is in total for 40 animals then that mean 40 animals is 100%

now we see that there are 26 horses we only need to divid ( but remember you have to divid the percent and the number of animals together)

40 ÷ 20 = 2.    2 x 13 = 26

100% ÷ 20 = 5%.  5% x 13 = 65%

the answer for this question:

the percentage of animals that are horses is 65%
