Meg is a veterinarian. I. Given week , 50% of the 16 dogs she saw were boxers . Steve is also a veterinarian. In the same week , 7 of the 35 dogs he saw this week were boxers. Each wants to know the record the part , the whole and the percent. Does meg need to find the part the whole or the percent

In this situation, Meg will need to find the whole because she already has the part and the percentage.

In mathematics, a whole represents the total number of items that are analyzed, in this case, the total number of dogs.  

The part refers to a number that is usually lower than the whole and describes specific characteristics. For example, in a classroom of 30 kids, 20 like to play basketball. Then 20 is the part.

The percentage is the number followed by the symbol % and represents the relationship between the part and the whole. In this case, the percentage of boxers is related to the number of total dogs.

Based on this, Meg already has the percentage (50%), and the part (16), therefore, she needs to find the whole or the total number of dogs, in this case, 32.
