Explanation
Question 9. In 2003, only dogs and goldfish each accounted for more than 20% of the store’s total sales.
Hence 2 is the answer.
Question 10. The number of goldfish sold in 2002 was 35% of 9,000, or 3,150 goldfish. The number of goldfish in 2003 was 40% of 10,000, or 4,000. To find the difference, simply subtract: 4,000 - 3,150 = 850.
Hence option D is correct.
Question 11. Total cat sales in 2002 can be calculated as 10% of 9,000, or 900 total cats. In 2003, the figure is 9% of 10,000, or 900 total cats. Therefore, the same number of cats was sold in both years. The answer is choice (A).
Hence option A is correct.
Question 12. Store A and Store B both sold an equal number of pets in 2002, meaning both sold 4,500 animals. If the total number of pets sold by Store A then increases by 34%, Store A sold 6,030 animals in 2003. The total number of animals sold in 2003 was 10,000, meaning store B sold only 3,970 pets. Use the percent change formula: \(\frac{(4500 - 3970)}{4500}*100\) to get choice (A).
Hence option A is correct.

Hi Sandy,
Thanks for the answer.
I think the question needs to be reviewed as data shows total number of animals were 10000 in 2002 and 9000 in 2003 .However, the answers are calculated considering
total number of animals as 9000 in 2002 and 10000 in 2003.
