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!

You can write the equation in point-slope form, which has the format <em>y-y</em>subscript1=<em>m</em>(<em>x-x</em>subscript1), with <em>y</em>subscript1 and <em>x</em>subscript1 being the y and x coordinates for a point on the line, and <em>m</em> being the slope. </span>
<span /><span>Substitute a y and x coordinate into the equation so you have <em>y</em>-6=<em>m</em>(<em>x</em>-2)</span>
<span /><span><span>Then find the slope so you can replace <em>m</em>. The slope formula is <em />(<em>y</em>subscript2-<em>y</em>subscript1)/(<em>x</em>subscript2-<em>x</em>subscript1). </span><span>Substitute the coordinates in so you have <em>m</em>=(16-6)/(4-2), which simplifies to 10/2 and then 5.</span></span>
<span><span /></span><span>Now the equation is <em>y</em>-6=5(<em>x</em>-2)</span>
<span />If you want a different form, for example slope-intercept form, you can change it to that:
<span><em>y</em>-6=5(<em>x</em>-2)</span>
<span><em>y</em>=5x-4</span>
Wow a lot of plants but make a Mendelson Square [looks like a tic- tac -toe board (# this super large) with p and w at the top and p and w down the side. I would some how get those numbers checked out cuz generally there are only 4 squares:)
