Answer
A. $100\%$
B. $31\%$
Work Step by Step
A:
Given that the circle represents the percent of different animals sold at a local store for $1$ year
In terms of percentages, the whole circle represents $100\%$
The percentage of different animals in the circle $= 48 + 5 + 9 + 7 +x$
The percentage of different animals in the circle except cats $ = 69% + x%$
B:
The total percent of animals = The sum of the percents of each animal
$7+9+5+48+x=100$
$69 + x=100$
$x = 100 – 69$
$x = 31$
Hence, the percentage of cats is $31\%$.
