Final answer:

The probability that a household has both children and a pet is 40%, as this is the given percentage of households with both children and pets.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks for the probability that a household has both children and a pet given certain percentages of households with pets, households with children, and households with both pets and children. To find the probability, we can apply the concept of joint probability. The joint probability is the probability of two events happening at the same time. In this case, the joint event is a household having both children and a pet.

According to the information provided, 45% of households have a pet, 35% have children, and 40% have both a pet and children. The probability that a randomly selected household will have both children and a pet is, therefore, 40%.
