150 cats like fish. You could use a calculator btw.

You would need to take 500 * .52 = 260 next take 260 * .25 to find how many cats like fish which equals 65, the probability that it likes fish and it sleeps inside can be found by taking .52 * .25 = .13 so there would be a 13% chance of picking a cat that sleeps indoors and likes fish, 435 cats dont like fish found by taking 500-65=435 and finally to find how many cats sleep outside take 500-260=240 then take 240 * .625 = 150 then 240-150 = 90 so 90 cats like to sleep outside and like fish thats it!=) Hope this helps!
