Answer 2

It is important to look at all the information’s already given in the question. Those information’s will come in handy while solving the question.
Number of dogs in the shelter = 60
Percentage of puppies in the shelter = 15%
Then
Number of puppies in the shelter = (15/100) * 60
                                                     = 900/100
                                                     = 9
So there are a total of 9 puppies in the shelter. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand. I am glad to have helped you.
