Answer 1

25%

Explanation:

Total number of student in the school = 152 students

Number of student that have more than one pet = 38

percentage of the students have more than one pet will be expressed as

% of student with more than 1 pet = number of student with more than one pet/total number of student * 100%

% of student with more than 1 pet = 38/152 * 100

% of student with more than 1 pet = 3800/152

% of student with more than 1 pet = 25%

Hence 25% of the students in the school have more than one pet.
