Question

Half of the children in a library group like pets, one fourth don't like pets and seven children do not have any

preference. How many students in the library group like pets?

Answer 1

14 children

Explanation:

Half the children like pets and a quarter of the children do not, so another quarter does not have preference. Let x = total number of children, and we would have this equation.

0.25x = 7

x = 28

Since we are asked to give the number of children who like pets, 28/2 = 14 is the answer.
