Answer:

[tex]\% = 74.1\%[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Total = 27[/tex]

[tex]Not\ Adopted = 7[/tex]

Required

Determine the percentage of the adopted dogs

First, we need to determine the number of adopted dogs.

[tex]Adopted + Not\ Adopted = Total[/tex]

[tex]Adopted + 7 = 27[/tex]

[tex]Adopted = 27-7[/tex]

[tex]Adopted = 20[/tex]

The percentage is calculated as follows:

[tex]\% = \frac{Adopted}{Total} * 100\%[/tex]

[tex]\% = \frac{20}{27} * 100\%[/tex]

[tex]\% = \frac{20 * 100\%}{27}[/tex]

[tex]\% = \frac{2000\%}{27}[/tex]

[tex]\% = 74.1\%[/tex]
