To find the percentage of begonias the dog ate, we need to calculate the ratio of the number of begonias the dog ate to the total number of begonias.
The dog ate 7 begonias out of 20 begonias.
So, the ratio of begonias the dog ate to the total number of begonias is 7/20.
To convert this ratio into a percentage, we multiply the ratio by 100.
Percentage of begonias the dog ate = (7/20) * 100 = 0.35 * 100 = 35%
Therefore, the dog ate 35% of the begonias.
