Answer:

276

Step-by-step explanation: In order to find the number, we will need to set it up in an equation. In total, there are 460 students while 60% of them have pets. Lets set that up.

460(60%)

In order to correctly do this, we will need to transfer 60% into a decimal, which is .6. Now we will rewrite it.

460(.6)

This now can be represented by the number 276.

Since we know that 276 is 60% of 460, The total number of students that have pets will be 276.
