Lakshmi planted 20 begonias, but her neighbor’s dog ate 7 of them. What percent of the begonias did the dog eat?
A
3%
B
5%
C
25%
D
35%
To find the percent of begonias that the dog ate, we need to divide the number of begonias the dog ate (7) by the total number of begonias (20) and then multiply by 100.
(7 / 20) * 100 = 35%
The dog ate 35% of the begonias.
Answer: D) 35%
