The citizens of a city were asked to choose their favorite type of pet. The circle graph shows how the citizens answered. If 135,000 citizens answered the question, how many chose Cat?
the circles shows 21% for the cats
To find the number of citizens who chose Cat, we first need to determine the fraction of citizens that chose Cat.
The fraction of citizens that chose Cat is 21% or 0.21.
To find the number of citizens, we multiply the fraction of citizens by the total number of citizens who answered the question.
Number of citizens who chose Cat = 0.21 * 135,000
= 28,350
Therefore, 28,350 citizens chose Cat as their favorite type of pet.
