First, we need to calculate the percentage of citizens who chose either Snakes or Dogs.

The percentage of citizens who chose Dogs is 26%, which is equivalent to 0.26 as a decimal.

The percentage of citizens who chose Snakes is 10%, which is equivalent to 0.10 as a decimal.

To find the number of citizens who chose either Snakes or Dogs, we need to multiply the total number of citizens by the combined percentage of Snakes and Dogs:

0.26 + 0.10 = 0.36

So the combined percentage of Snakes and Dogs is 36%.

To find the number of citizens who chose Snakes or Dogs, we can multiply the total number of citizens by this percentage:

0.36 x 95,000 = 34,200
