Lyndy conducted a survey of the 300 students in her school. She found that 60 students own dogs, while only 30 students own cats. What percent of the students own cats?
30 of the students own cats, and there are 300 students total, which makes for a fraction: $\frac{30}{300} = \frac{1}{10} = \boxed{10\%}$.

Problem: Lyndy conducted a survey of the 300 students in her school. She found that 60 students own dogs, while only 30 students own cats. What percent of the students own cats?
Solution:<|START_OF_LATENT|><|PRIOR_PREFIX|>To find the percentage of students who own cats, we need to use the formula for percentage, which is given by the equation: 

Percentage = (Number of favorable outcomes / Total number of outcomes) × 100.

In this scenario, the number of favorable outcomes is the number of students who own cats, which is 30. The total number of outcomes is the total number of students surveyed, which is 300. 

Now, we can substitute these values into the formula:

Percentage = (30 / 300) × 100.

Next, we simplify the fraction 30 / 300. This can be done by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 30:

30 / 300 = 1 / 10.

Now, we multiply this simplified fraction by 100 to find the percentage:

(1 / 10) × 100 = 10.

Thus, the calculation shows that 10% of the students own cats. Therefore, the final answer is 10%.<|END_OF_LATENT|> The final answer is $10\%$.
