Answer 1

Answer:

21% of the animals are female

Step-by-step explanation:

In total:

There are 40 + 60 = 100 animals.

Female animals.

40 dogs. Of those, 15% are female. So 0.15*40 = 6.

60 cats. Of those, 25% are female. So 0.25*60 = 15.

21 female animals.

21/100 = 0.21 = 21%

21% of the animals are female
