The question is:
Exactly how many show dogs does Sheila have?
(1) Of Sheila's show dogs, exactly 3 have won prizes of at least $500
(2) Of Sheila's show dogs, exactly 40% have not won a prize of $500 or more.
The answer provided is (C) because according to the book 60% represents the 3 that have won prizes and hence you can calculate the no. of dogs.
However the solution assumes that all of Sheila's dogs won a prize. Is this correct? Should the answer not be (E) because we are not told that all of Sheila's dogs have won at least one prize.
