38% of the animals are dogs.

40% of the animals are spotted.

12% of the animals are spotted dogs.

What percent of the animals in the store are spotted or dogs?

1 answer

To find the percent of animals in the store that are either spotted or dogs, we need to add the percentages of animals that are dogs and the percentage of animals that are spotted, and then subtract the percentage of animals that are both spotted and dogs.

So, the percent of animals that are either spotted or dogs is:

38% (dogs) + 40% (spotted) - 12% (spotted dogs) = 66%.

Therefore, 66% of the animals in the store are either spotted or dogs.
