The probability of a customer having a cat, given they have a dog, is approximately 0.4615 or 45.15%
Variables:
A = customer has a cat
B = customer has a dog
Given:
P(B) = 0.78, customer has a dog
P(A∩B) = 0.36, customer has a cat and a dog
Conditional probability:
P(A | B) = P(A ∩ B) / P(B)
Substitute and simplify:
P(A | B) = 0.36 / 0.78
= 0.4615
