A zoo has a total of 80 animals, 4 of which are zebras. What percent of the animals at the zoo is zebras?(1 point) Responses 50% 50% 0.5% 0.5% 5% 5% 10%
The correct answer is 5%.
To find the percentage of zebras at the zoo, divide the number of zebras by the total number of animals and then multiply by 100.
Number of zebras = 4
Total number of animals = 80
Percentage of zebras = (Number of zebras / Total number of animals) * 100
Percentage of zebras = (4 / 80) * 100
Percentage of zebras = 0.05 * 100
Percentage of zebras = 5%
So, the correct answer is 5%.
To determine the percentage of zebras at the zoo, we need to divide the number of zebras by the total number of animals and then multiply by 100.
Let's calculate it step by step:
1. Number of zebras: 4
2. Total number of animals at the zoo: 80
To find the percentage, we divide the number of zebras by the total number of animals:
4 / 80 = 0.05
Finally, we multiply the result by 100 to convert it to a percentage:
0.05 * 100 = 5%
Therefore, 5% of the animals at the zoo are zebras.
