Answer 1

To find the percentage of zebras at the zoo, you can use the formula:

\[
\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Number of Zebras}}{\text{Total Number of Animals}} \right) \times 100
\]

Substituting the given values:

\[
\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{4}{80} \right) \times 100
\]

Calculating the fraction:

\[
\frac{4}{80} = 0.05
\]

Now, multiply by 100 to convert to a percentage:

\[
0.05 \times 100 = 5\%
\]

Therefore, the percentage of zebras at the zoo is **5%**.
