Approximately \(27.7\%\) of the total amount was spent on veterinarian bills.
Solución
1. Calculate the fraction of the total spent on veterinarian bills:
\[
\frac{14.1}{50.9}
\]
2. Multiply the fraction by 100 to convert it to a percentage:
\[
\frac{14.1}{50.9} \times 100
\]
3. Compute the division:
\[
\frac{14.1}{50.9} \approx 0.277
\]
4. Multiply by 100:
\[
0.277 \times 100 \approx 27.7\%
\]
Thus, approximately \(27.7\%\) of the total amount was spent on veterinarian bills.

To find the percentage of the total amount spent on veterinarian bills, you can use the formula: \[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Part}}{\text{Total}} \right) \times 100 \] In this case, the part is \$14.1 billion (veterinarian bills) and the total is \$50.9 billion (total pet spending). \[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{14.1}{50.9} \right) \times 100 \approx 27.66\% \] So, approximately \( 27.66\% \) of the total amount spent on pets was for veterinarian bills.
