Answer:

1. I dont know what format they want you to write it in but its 27/100 which is 0.27 as a decimal and 27% as a percent

2. it'll be 11/100 which is 0.11 as a decimal and 11% as a percent

Explanation:

Since adding up all the people with cats, dogs or both is 73, and theres 100 people surveyed, that means 100-73=27 so 27 people dont have a cat or dog. Therefore its 27/100 which is 0.27 as a decimal and 27% as a percent

For number 2, because 11 people have both a dog and cat I believe itll be 11/100 which is 0.11 as a decimal and 11% as a percent
