Using proportions, it is found that there is a 0.54 = 54% probability that a randomly selected household owns a cat.
<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>
A proportion is a fraction of total amount.
In this problem, the proportions associated with owning a cat are given by:
- 70% of 60%(also have a dog).
- 30% of 40%(do not have a dog).
Hence:
p = 0.7(0.6) + 0.3(0.4) = 0.42 + 0.12 = 0.54.
0.54 = 54% probability that a randomly selected household owns a cat.

Answer:
17.41 Dollars
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you take the discount, which is 2 dollars, so now the cost without any additional costs is 22 dollars. Next, find 8 percent of 22 by multipling 22*0.08 and then you get 1.76. Subtract that from 22 and 20.24. Then take 14 percent of 20.24 by multiplying it by 0.14, which you get 2.8336. Round that down and you get 2.83. Subtract that from that and you get 17.41.
