17 students have a cat. 5 of those 17 also have a dog. So the probability that a student who has a cat also has a dog is 5/17, or approximately 29.4%

#of students with cat = 17, # with dog = 7, # with both =5
P(cat) = 17/25
What is the probability that a student who has a cat also has a dog?
Students who have cat = 17
Out of these 17, 5 also have a dog (these 5 have cat and dog)
So required probability = 5/17
