A
3%

B
5%

C
25%

D
35%

Answer 1

Total no. Of begonias = 20

Dog ate = 7 begonias

Therefore, percentage of begonias which dog ate

=7×100÷20

= 35%

Answer 2

Answer:

D) 35%

Step-by-step explanation:

Total begonias = 20

Begonias eaten by dog = 7/20

Begonias eaten by dog (in %) =

$\frac{7}{20} \times 100\% \\ = \frac{7 \times 100}{20}\% \\ = \frac{700}{20} \% \\ = 35\%$

Hence the percentage of begonias eaten by dog = 35%
