Answer:

Given

  • students have a pet = 30
  • students do not have a pet = 47

Let number of students who have a pet denoted by "X" And number of students who do not have a pet denoted by "Y"

Explanation:

Ratio of students who have a pet = [100 - (X/Y * 100)]

Ratio of students who have a pet = [100 - (30/47 * 100)]

Ratio of students who have a pet = [100 - (67.8)]

Ratio of students who have a pet = 36.2
