Question

Pet owners if 260 people were surveyed how many of them own dogs?

Answer 1

A total of 260 people were surveyed about pet ownership.

The information is condensed into a pie chart.

We want to find out how many people own dogs.

From the chart, it says that 55% of 260 people said that they own dogs.

We need to find 55% of 260 to get our answer.

First, let's convert 55% to decimal:

55% = 55/100 = 0.55

Thus, 55% of 260 is:

`\begin{gathered} 0.55\cdot260 \\ =143 \end{gathered}`

Thus,

143 people (out of 260) own a dog.
