The percentage of dogs that were mixed is 17.9%

The highest dogs in the capacity at the time was 84

20 black labradors

16 golden retriever

18 Labradoodles

7 Chihuahuas

8 German Shepherds

Total number of dogs= 20 + 16 + 18+ 7 +8

= 69

Number of mixed breeds = 84-69

= 15

The percentage of dogs that were mixed can be calculated as follows

= 15/84 × 100

= 0.179 × 100

= 17.9%

Hence the percentage of dogs that were mixed is 17.9%
