A survey of shoppers at a grocery store found that 40% of shoppers were buying food for a week or more. If 50 shoppers were surveyed, how many shoppers were buying food for a week or more?(1 point)
If 40% of shoppers were buying food for a week or more, then 40% of 50 shoppers is equal to (40/100)*50 = <<(40/100)*50=20>>20 shoppers. Answer: \boxed{20}.
To find the number of shoppers buying food for a week or more, we need to calculate 40% of the total number of shoppers surveyed.
Step 1: Convert the percentage to decimal form.
40% = 40/100 = 0.4
Step 2: Multiply the decimal by the total number of shoppers surveyed.
0.4 * 50 = 20
Therefore, if 50 shoppers were surveyed, 20 shoppers were buying food for a week or more.
To find out how many shoppers were buying food for a week or more, you need to multiply the percentage by the total number of shoppers surveyed.
First, let's calculate the number of shoppers buying food for a week or more.
The percentage of shoppers buying food for a week or more is 40%.
To find the number of shoppers, multiply the percentage (40%) by the total number of shoppers surveyed (50):
40% * 50 = (40/100) * 50 = 0.4 * 50 = 20
Therefore, 20 shoppers were buying food for a week or more.
