Of 1,000 dogs, 72% are male. Among the males, 3 out of 5 were over the age 5. How many of the dogs were males over the age of 5?
432
312
468
720
Detailed Explanation
First multiply 1000 × 72% = 720 to find out how many dogs are male. This results in 720 male dogs of which \(\frac{\mathrm{3} }{\mathrm{ 5 }}\) are over the age of 5. Therefore \(720 \times \frac{\mathrm{3} }{\mathrm{5} } = 432\)
