Answer 2

The people who said Yes to having a pet in their home is greater.

Explanation:

We are asked to compare 18% and 14/25. Let's get them to their lowest common denominator:

18% = 18/100

14/25 * 4 = 56/100

18/100 is clearly much less than 56/100. If you don't want to write all this out, you can also eyeball that 14/25 is over half, whereas 18% is not close to half.
