Harly's animal shelter has 80 dogs. She adopts out 40% of them but then has to take back 5 because of personality conflicts with other dogs in their adopted homes. How many dogs does she have now?
How many dogs are adopted out? ** First find how many dogs are adopted out: 80 dogs * 40% = <<80*40*.01=32>>32 dogs
How many dogs does Harly have now? ** Then subtract the number of dogs adopted out from the total number of dogs and add the number who were returned to find the final number of dogs: 80 dogs - 32 dogs + 5 dogs = <<80-32+5=53>>53 dogs
