Answer:

(C)81

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Number of Students =300

Percentage who had cats, n(C) = 40%

Percentage who had both cats and dogs , [tex]n(C \cap D)[/tex] = 12%

Percentage who had neither cats nor dogs, [tex]n(C \cup D)'[/tex] =45%

Now:

Universal Set, [tex]U = n(C)+n(D)-n(C \cap D)+n(C \cup D)'[/tex]

[tex]100 = 40 + n(D)-12+45\\n(D)=100-73\\$Percentage of those who own dogs =27\%[/tex]

Therefore:

Number of Students who had dogs

=27% of 300

=81
