Rama did a survey where she asked all the people in her apartment to name their favourite pet. The results are shown in the pie-chart. If 48 people said their favourite pet was a rabbit then, how many persons said that their favourite pet was a cat?    Correct Answer 108

Given:

People who like a rabbit as per the survey conducted by Rama = 48

Calculation:

The percentage of people who like rabbits is 16%

So, 16% of the total number of people is 48.

Let the total number of people be x.

(16 / 100) × x = 48

x = 48 × (100/16) = 300

Total number of people is 300.

From the pie chart, 36% of people like cats.

( 36 / 100 ) × 300 = 108

∴ The number of people who claim to like cats is 108.
