Answer 1

The percentage value of puppies weighing over 6 pounds is 25%

What is Percentage?

Percentage is a relative number that represents the hundredth part of any quantity. One percent (symbolised 1%) is one hundredth part; consequently, 100 percent denotes the complete amount and 200 percent defines twice the supplied amount.

Solution:

Given that there are 12 puppies in total and 3 of them weighted above 6 pounds

To calculate the percentage we need to divide 3 by 12 and then multiply it by 100

= (3/12) * 100

= 25%
