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?
Out of the 50 shoppers surveyed, 40% were buying food for a week or more.
Therefore, the number of shoppers buying food for a week or more is 40% of 50, which is (40/100) * 50 = <<(40/100)*50=20>>20 shoppers. Answer: \boxed{20}.
To find the number of shoppers who were buying food for a week or more, we need to calculate 40% of the total number of shoppers surveyed.
Step 1: Multiply the percentage by the total number of shoppers surveyed.
40% * 50 shoppers = (40/100) * 50 shoppers = 0.40 * 50 shoppers = 20 shoppers
Therefore, 20 shoppers were buying food for a week or more.
To find the number of shoppers who were buying food for a week or more, we need to calculate 40% of the total number of shoppers surveyed.
The first step is to convert the percentage to a decimal by dividing it by 100.
40% = 40/100 = 0.4
Next, we multiply the decimal by the total number of shoppers surveyed.
0.4 * 50 = 20
Therefore, there were 20 shoppers who were buying food for a week or more.
