Answer 1

Answer: There were 180 dog owners in this survey that owned more than one dog.

Explanation:

Since this word problem is a percentage problem, you will need to convert 45% of 400 to a hundredths decimal.

45% -> 45/100 -> 0.45

Then, to find the solution, multiply 0.45 by the total number of dog owners in the survey. (400)

0.45

x400

---------

180!

The answer you'll get will be 180, so therefore, 180 dog owners in this survey owned more than one dog. Hope this helps!:)
