A local entrepreneur began a dog sitting business. His kennel has a capacity of 100 dogs. The highest number of dogs kept in his kennel at one time was 84. At that time there were 20 Black Labradors, 16 Golden Retrievers, 18 Labradoodles, 7 Chihuahuas, 8 German Shepherds and the rest were all mixed breeds. What percentage of the dogs were mixed breeds?

Answer 1

The percentage of dogs that were mixed is 17.9%

The highest dogs in the capacity at the time was 84

20 black labradors

16 golden retriever

18 Labradoodles

7 Chihuahuas

8 German Shepherds

Total number of dogs= 20 + 16 + 18+ 7 +8

= 69

Number of mixed breeds = 84-69

= 15

The percentage of dogs that were mixed can be calculated as follows

= 15/84 × 100

= 0.179 × 100

= 17.9%

Hence the percentage of dogs that were mixed is 17.9%
