Question

Results from a survey show that that 36% of dog owners say their dog sleeps in a family member's bed. If 12,500 pet owners were polled, how many people made this claim?

Answer 1

4500

Explanation:

Convert `36%` to a decimal first, so `36/100=0.36`

Now multiply that by the total amount of pet owners to get the amount (the 36%) of the people who made the claim.

`0.36*12500=4500`

36% of 12500 = 4500

Therefore, 4500 people made that claim
