Question

500 people were surveyed about their favorite type of pet. 55% of the people said

"dog", 1/10 said "cat", 0.3 said "bird", and the rest said "other". How many people
responded "other"?

Answer 1

25/500 or 5% said 'other'

Explanation:

55% = 275 (dog)

1/10 = 50 (cat)

0.3 = 150 (bird)

Total = 475

475 out of 500 (95%) gave an answer other than 'other'
