To determine what Meg needs to find, let's break down the information given.

  • Meg saw 4 dogs, and 1 of them was a boxer.

To find the percentage of dogs that were boxers for Meg, she would need to calculate the ratio of boxers to the total number of dogs she saw. This can be expressed as:

\[ \text{Percentage of Boxers} = \left(\frac{\text{Number of Boxers}}{\text{Total Dogs}} \right) \times 100 \]

So Meg needs to find the percent.
