Question

In a survey of 800 people, 32% preferred cats and 27% preferred dogs. How many more people preferred cats than preferred dogs?

Answer 1

Answer:

40

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Calculate the amount of people on both sides.

32% preferred cats

32% of 800

0.32 × 800 = 256 people

27% preferred dogs

27% of 800

0.27 × 800 = 216 people

So 256 people preferred cats and 216 people preferred dogs.

256 - 216 = 40 people

40 more people preferred cats than preferred dogs
