Students at Remington High School were polled regarding their favorite drinks. The results are shown on the circle graph. If 630 students were polled, how many preferred cola?
A) 130
B) 118
C) 112
D) 126
To find out how many students preferred cola, we need to determine what percentage of the circle graph represents cola. According to the given information, cola represents 20% of the total drinks.
To find out the number of students who preferred cola, we need to multiply the percentage by the total number of students:
20% of 630 = 0.2 x 630 = 126
Therefore, the answer is D) 126.
To find out how many students preferred cola, we need to determine the percentage of students who preferred cola and then calculate that percentage of the total number of students polled.
The given data states that 20% of the students preferred cola.
Let's calculate the number of students who preferred cola:
Number of students who preferred cola = (20/100) x 630
Number of students who preferred cola = 0.2 x 630
Number of students who preferred cola = 126
Therefore, the correct answer is D) 126.
