Answer:
15%
Step-by-step explanation:
A percent can be found by dividing the part by the whole, then multiplying by 100.
(part/whole) * 100
In this case, the part is the puppies and the whole is the total number of dogs.
(puppies/all dogs) * 100
There are 18 puppies and 120 dogs in all.
(18 puppies / 120 total dogs) * 100
(18/120) * 100
First, solve inside the parentheses. Divide 18 by 120.
(0.15)* 100
Next, multiply 0.15 and 100
15
15%
15% of all the dogs in the kennel were puppies.
