Question

A survey of pet owners shows that:

38 have a cat, 39 have a dog, 12 have both a cat and a dog, 10 have neither a cat nor a dog.
How many pet owners were surveyed?

Answer 1

The total number of pet owners surveyed is 99.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of pet owners surveyed is 99.

To find the total number of pet owners, we need to add the number of people who have a cat, the number of people who have a dog, and the number of people who have both. We subtract the number of people who have neither. For this survey, 38 people have a cat, 39 people have a dog, 12 people have both, and 10 people have neither. So, 38 + 39 + 12 - 10 =

99 pet owners surveyed.
