You can put this solution on YOUR website! Think of it this way...for every puppy, you have a choice of 12 kittens, so with 15 puppies you have a choice of 15 X 12 or 180 different choices.

Think of how you would do it.
15 ways to pick the puppy
12 ways to pick the kitten
----------
Now apply the general rule of counting to get:
Total # of ways = 15*12 = 180 ways
