B. Cats - 20%
C. Other - 8%
D. None - 4%
E. Horses - 1%
b. 20 students
Step-by-step explanation:
1. a. The equation is:
o = 0.15 *20b
o = 3b
where, o = weight of oats in pounds and b = number of dog food bags
b. Let's find out the weight of the oats in one dog food bag, using our equation:
o = 0.15 *20b
o = 0.15 *20 * 1
o = 3 pounds
2. a. Most popular animals:
A. Dogs - 67%
B. Cats - 20%
C. Other - 8%
D. None - 4%
E. Horses - 1%
b. If 250 students were interviewed, the 8% who answered "other" are:
8% of 250 = 0.08 * 250 = 20 students
