To find out how many households did not have pets, we need to subtract the number of households that had pets from the total number of households.
Given that 29% of the 2000 households had pets, we can calculate the number of households that had pets as follows:
Number of households with pets = 29% of 2000
To calculate a percentage of a number, we multiply the number by the decimal equivalent of the percentage. So, to find 29% of 2000, we need to multiply 2000 by 0.29.
Number of households with pets = 2000 * 0.29
Calculating this, we get:
Number of households with pets = 580
Now, to find out how many households did not have pets, we subtract the number of households with pets from the total number of households:
Number of households without pets = Total Number of households - Number of households with pets
Number of households without pets = 2000 - 580
Calculating this, we get:
Number of households without pets = 1420
Therefore, there were 1420 households that did not have pets.
