3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of purebreds, we take the total number of dogs times the percent that are purebred

purebreds = total * percent

purebreds = 60*5%

= 60*.05

=3

There are 3 purebred dogs

3

Step-by-step explanation:

5% is converted into the decimal form 0.05. To find 5% of the 60 dogs which are pure bred, multiply 60*0.05 = 3. This means 3 are purebred.
