Mrs. Bollo's second grade class of thirty students conducted a pet ownership survey. Results of the survey indicate that 8 students own a cat, 15 students own a dog, and 5 students own both a cat and a dog. How many of the students surveyed own only a cat?
a) 18
b) 15
c) None of these answers
d) 8

Respuesta :

Answer:

c) None of these answers

Step-by-step explanation:

8 students own a cat

In this, we count the students who own both a dog and a cat, and the students who own only a cat.

5 students own both a cat and a dog.

So of the 8 who own a cat, 5 own both a cat and a dog, and 8 - 5 = 3 own only a cat.

So the correct answer is given by option c, as 3 is not an option.
