In a survey of 85 pet owners, 10 said they own a dog, and 36 said they own a cat. 9 said they own both a dog and a cat? How many owned a dog but not a cat

Respuesta :

Solution

- The formula to use to solve this question is:

[tex]\text{ dog owners-dog and cat owners}[/tex]

- We have been given:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{ dog owners}=10 \\ \text{ cat owners}=36 \\ \text{ cat and dog owners}=9 \end{gathered}[/tex]

- Thus, we can find the number of people that own just dogs as follows:

[tex]10-9=1[/tex]

Final Answer

Only 1 person owns dogs only
