Answer:
a) Cat
b) 8
c) 6
Explanation:
a) Each line contains one large square, at least. The smallest additional area is on the Cat line. Apparently, the fewest people preferred cats.
__
b) The smaller symbols appear to represent 1/4, 1/2, and 3/4 of the larger square. On that basis, we can add all of the symbols to discover there are a total of 10 of them:
1 1/4 +1 3/4 +2 1/2 +1 1/2 + 3 = 8 + (1/4 +3/4) +(1/2 +1/2) = 8 +1 +1 = 10
Since 10 symbols represent 80 people, each large square symbol must represent 8 people.
__
c) The number preferring dogs is (1 3/4)(8) = 14. The number preferring giraffes is (2 1/2)(8) = 20. Then 20 -14 = 6 more people preferred giraffes.
