Of the people own a dog and a cat. B. How many people own a dog but not a cat? People own a dog but not a cat.

Respuesta :

Let us assume the total number of people surveyed be = 1500

People who own a dog = 925

People who also own a cat along with dog = 16

So, people who own only dog = 925-16 = 909

A.

The fraction of people who own both a dog and a cat are = [tex]\frac{925}{1500}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{37}{60}[/tex]

B.

Number of people who own a dog and not a cat are = 909

In fraction it will be [tex]\frac{909}{1500}=\frac{303}{500}[/tex]
