    29/100 (Every 100 students, 29 more students like cats than dogs)

    Step-by-step explanation:

    First we need to put these numbers in fractions

    The fraction that represents students that like dogs is 9/25

    The fraction that represents students that like cats is 13/20

    Now, we just need to subtract the fraction of cats by the fraction of dogs:

    13/20 - 9/25

    To do that, we need to make the denominators equal. We do that making multiplying the first fraction by 5 and the second by 4, so we have:

    13/20 = 65/100

    9/25 = 36/100

    Then, subtracting then, we have:

    65/100 - 36/100 = 29/100

    So every 100 students, 29 more students like cats than dogs.
