Question

At a shelter 15% of the dogs are puppies there are 60 dogs at the shelter. How many are puppies?

Answer 1

Answer: 9

Step-by-step explanation:

One method is to do the steps like this

15% of 60 = 0.15*60 = 9

Or you can solve like this

part/whole = percent/100

x/60 = 15/100

100x = 60*15

100x = 900

x = 900/100

x = 9

9 of the dogs are puppies
