An individual works at a pet store. There are 15 dogs up for adoption. At the end of the day, only 4 were not adopted. What is the percentage of dogs that were adopted?
Answer
80%
73%
27%

To find the percentage of dogs that were adopted, we first need to calculate how many dogs were adopted. 

Given:
- Total dogs up for adoption = 15
- Dogs not adopted = 4

**Step 1: Calculate the number of dogs adopted:**

\[
\text{Dogs adopted} = \text{Total dogs} - \text{Dogs not adopted} = 15 - 4 = 11
\]

**Step 2: Calculate the percentage of dogs adopted:**

\[
\text{Percentage of dogs adopted} = \left( \frac{\text{Dogs adopted}}{\text{Total dogs}} \right) \times 100
\]

Substitute the values:

\[
\text{Percentage of dogs adopted} = \left( \frac{11}{15} \right) \times 100 \approx 73.33\%
\]

So, the closest answer is **73%**.
