Solution: The number of dogs left after 25% are decreased, is 9 and number of dogs decreased by 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of dogs after decresing 25% be x.

It is given that the number of dogs are 12 after that he number of dogs decreased by 25%.

First we have to find 25% f 12.

12* (25)/(100) =12* (1)/(4)

$25\% \text{ of }12=3$

Since number of dogs decreased by 25%, therefore subtract 3 from 12.

12-3=9

Therefore, the number of dogs left after 25% are decreased, is 9 and number of dogs decreased by 3.
