How many more students have hamsters than dogs? (1 point)
1
5
8
9
There are 16 students that have both hamsters and dogs, which means there are 16 students who have hamsters and dogs as pets.
There are 25 students who have hamsters only, which means there are 25 - 16 = 9 students who have hamsters but not dogs.
There are 24 students who have dogs only, which means there are 24 - 16 = 8 students who have dogs but not hamsters.
Thus, there are 9 - 8 = 1 more student who has hamsters than dogs.
The answer is 1.
