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:

There~are~9 ~puppies.

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply~by~a~fraction~to~find~15\%~of~60.

We~write~the~percentage~into~a~fraction. To~do~that~we~divide~it~by~100:

15\%~of~60~=\frac{15}{100}~of~60.

Now,~multiply:

\frac{15}{100}~of~60~=\frac{15}{100}  \times 60

                =\frac{900}{100}

                =9

15\%~of~60~is~9,~thus,~there~are~9~puppies.

Hope~this~helps!~and~have~an~amazing~day~ahead!
