So for this you need to find 15% of 60. There are a few ways to do this but I prefer to do it like this.
First, find 10% of 60. This can be found by dividing 60 by 10, because 100%/10% is 10.
This gives 10%=6
5% is half of 10%, so divide your answer for 10% (6), by 2.
This gives 5%=3
We needed 15%, so we add our 10% and 5% together, to get 9.
15% of 60 is 9, meaning there are 9 puppies.
Hope this helps!

Answer:
12 books
Step-by-step explanation:
Since she has $15 and books come in a pack of four for $5, we can divide her money by the cost to see how many she can get ($15/$5) which gets us 3. but we have to remember the books come in a pack of four so we must multiply 3x4=12 books.
Answer:
118°
Step-by-step explanation:
When two parallel lines are cut by a tranversal, then the exterior angles are supplimentary and the corresponding angles are congruent.
Therefore the angle above (15x - 17)° is also (5x + 17)° and the angle below (5x + 17)° is also (15x - 17)°.
Angles on a straight line adds up to 180°. So to know the measure of the larger angle we must both equations and equal it to 180° to find x in order to know the larger angle.
(5x + 17) + (15x - 17) = 180
5x + 15x + 17 - 17 = 180
20x = 180
20x/20 = 180/20
x = 9°
Nkw let's substitute x = 9 into the equations
5x + 17 =
5(9) + 17 =
= 62°
15x - 17 =
15(9) - 17 =
= 118°
Both equations should add up to be 180°.
Therefore the measure of the largest angle is 118°.
