In a survey 182 people said they liked chocolate ice cream the best. This is 35% of all the people surveyed. How many people were surveyed???
Please tell me the answer and please show your work so I could understand how you figured it out!???
0.35x = 182
x = 182 / 0.35
x = 520
Thank you for answering my question. I was stuck on that question for so long. Now that you answered it I am stress free!!!!!! Thank you again!!!! :):):):):):):):):):)
George makes a $1000 down payment for a car and the pays $325 per month .Elaine makes a @2500 down payment for a car and then pays $325 per month. is there any number of months after which both George and Elaine will have paid the same amount ? Explain
To find out how many people were surveyed, we can set up a proportion.
Let the total number of people surveyed be represented by "x".
Since 35% of the people surveyed said they liked chocolate ice cream the best, we can express that as a fraction: 182/x.
Setting up the proportion, we have:
182/x = 35/100
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:
182 * 100 = 35 * x
18,200 = 35x
Now, divide both sides of the equation by 35:
18,200/35 = x
The result is approximately 520. So, there were approximately 520 people surveyed.
