There are 50% puppies in the pet shop.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Total percent of puppies, cats and lizards is 100%.

Percent of puppies = x

Given,

Percent of Cats = 33%

Percent of Lizards = 17%

As all the values are in percent, therefore, we can add and subtract them.

Total percent = Percent of cats + Percent of lizards + Percent of puppies

$100=33+17+x\\100=50+x\\100-50=x\\50=x\\x=50$

There are 50% puppies in the pet shop.
