8 of these pictures are animal themed.
25% of these pictures
are
portraits. How
many pictures are neither animals or
portraits?

Answer 1

there are 22 pictures that are neither animal-themed nor portraits.

Explanation:

Out of the 40 pictures that Steph has drawn, 8 are animal-themed. Therefore, the number of pictures that are not animal-themed is:

40 - 8 = 32

Now, we know that 25% of the 40 pictures are portraits. To find out how many pictures are portraits, we can multiply 40 by 0.25:

40 x 0.25 = 10

Therefore, 10 pictures are portraits. Since some of the portraits might also be animal-themed, we need to subtract them from the total number of portraits to get the number of non-portrait pictures. We don't know how many portraits are also animal-themed, so we need to assume that all of them are. Therefore, the number of non-portrait pictures is:

32 - 10 = 22

Therefore, there are 22 pictures that are neither animal-themed nor portraits.
