There were 120 kinds of dogs in the kennel, but only 18 of those were puppies. What percent were puppies?

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.
