9) 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?

1. 312
2. 432
3. 468
4. 512
5. 720

First multiply 1000 * .72 to find out how many dogs are male. This results in 720 male dogs of which 3/5 are over the age of 5. Therefore, multiply 720 * 3/5 (or .6) which results in 432.
