An animal shelter has a 65% adoption rate for puppies. Of all puppies in the shelter, 75% live to be 7 years or older. Of the puppies who are adopted, 80% live to be 7 years or older. What is the probability that a randomly selected puppy in the shelter will get adopted and live 7 or more years?
 
The probability is: 
  • enter your answer as a percent (5%5%) or as a real-value (0.050.05)
  • if you enter your answer as a percent, you must use a %%-sign in your answer
  • your answer must be accurate to the nearest tenth of a percent.
