Explanation:

Step1: Calculate percentage of chicken treats

To find the percentage of chicken treats, use the formula $\text{Percentage}=\frac{\text{Number of chicken treats}}{\text{Total number of treats}}\times100$. There are 25 chicken treats and 50 total treats. So, $\frac{25}{50}\times 100 = 50\%$.

Step2: Calculate percentage of fish treats

Use the same formula for fish treats. There are 15 fish treats. So, $\frac{15}{50}\times 100=30\%$.

Step3: Calculate percentage of beef treats

There are 10 beef treats. So, $\frac{10}{50}\times 100 = 20\%$.

Answer:

Chicken: 50%, Fish: 30%, Beef: 20%
