Answer:

Option A. 500

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given, we obtained the following:

Numbers of home with pet dogs = 250

Percentage with pet dogs = 50%

Total number of homes =.?

Thus, we can obtain the total number of homes represented by the chart as follow:

Let T be the total number of Homes.

Number of homes with dog = percentage of homes with dog × total number

Numbers of home with pet dogs = 250

Percentage with pet dogs = 50%

Total number of homes = T

250 = 50% × T

Divide both side by 50%

T = 250 ÷ 50%

T = 250 ÷ 50/100

T = 250 × 100/50

T = 250 × 2

T = 500

Therefore, the total number of homes represented by the chart is 500.
