The following pie chart represents the results of a survey about whether people in a certain town have cats or dogs as pets.

Neither 6%
Both 22%
Cats only 28%
Dogs only 44%
If there is 300 people in the town, how many people have neither cats nor dogs?

You need to find 6% of 300. Multiply: 300 * 0.06 = ??

Hi Ms Sue, I need to write this in equation form.

To find out how many people have neither cats nor dogs, we need to calculate the percentage of people who have neither cats nor dogs and then convert it to a number.

According to the pie chart, the percentage of people with neither cats nor dogs is 6%.

Step 1: Convert the percentage to a decimal:
6% = 6/100 = 0.06

Step 2: Multiply the decimal by the total number of people in the town to find the number of people who have neither cats nor dogs:
0.06 x 300 = 18

Therefore, there are 18 people in the town who have neither cats nor dogs.

To find the number of people who have neither cats nor dogs, you need to calculate 6% of the total population of the town.

Step 1: Convert the percentage to a decimal
To convert 6% to a decimal, divide it by 100:
6% ÷ 100 = 0.06

Step 2: Calculate the number of people
Multiply the decimal by the total population of the town, which is 300:
0.06 × 300 = 18

Therefore, there are 18 people in the town who have neither cats nor dogs.
