A group of 1,500 high school students were asked to fill out a questionnaire about their future career choices. The circle graph represents the results of the questionnaire. Use the circle graph to answer the question.

Doctor: 20%

How many students chose doctor as their career choice?
A
x
300 students
B
x
200 students
C
x
150 students
D
x
400 students

1,500 * .2 = ?

To answer this question using the circle graph, we need to determine the percentage of high school students who chose doctor as their career choice and then calculate the corresponding number of students.

From the given information, we know that 20% of the high school students chose doctor as their career choice.

To find the number of students, we can use the formula:
(number of students) = (percentage in decimal form) x (total number of students)

Given that the total number of high school students is 1,500, we can calculate the number of students who chose doctor as their career choice as follows:

(number of students) = 0.20 x 1,500

Calculating this expression:
(number of students) = 300

So, the correct answer is A. 300 students chose doctor as their career choice.
