Answer 1

To find the percentage of the total spent on veterinary care, we need to divide the amount spent on veterinary bills ($19.9 billion) by the total amount spent ($51.4 billion) and then multiply by 100.

Percentage spent on veterinary care = (19.9 billion / 51.4 billion) * 100
≈ 38.7%

So, approximately 38.7% of the total amount was spent on veterinary care.
