Jim's dog, Tucker, eats every hour on the hour (when the time on the clock reads an exact hour) and eats exactly half of the number of dog food pellets in his bowl. If Jim fills Tucker's bowl at 7:30 a.m. with 80 dog food pellets, what percent of the original 80 pellets will there be in Tucker's bowl at 11:30 a.m. of the same day?

The easiest way to solve this is to make a table:

TimeFood
7:3080
8:0040
9:0020
10:0010
11:005


At 11:00 he had 5 pellets left so at 11:30 there would be 5 pellets.
