in a recent poll of 1,800 adults only 25% of the population approves of the president's performance. how many total people approve and how many total people disapprove of the president's performance?
please help!
0.25 * 1800 = 450
total adults=1800
approves=25%
How may approve and disapprove?
Approve people=1800x25% (25% is given in question) = 1800x25/100
= 1800x0.25
Approve people= 450
Now = 1800-450
= 1350 OR 1800X75%=1350
I BELIEVE IT COULD HELP OUT
To determine how many total people approve and how many total people disapprove of the president's performance, we can use the information given in the poll.
First, we need to find the total number of people in the population. The problem states that the poll surveyed 1,800 adults. Since the poll represents the entire population, we can assume that the surveyed 1,800 adults represents 100% of the population.
We are given that only 25% of the population approves of the president's performance. To find out how many people this represents, we multiply 1,800 by 25% (or 0.25):
1,800 x 0.25 = 450
So, 450 people approve of the president's performance.
To find out how many people disapprove, we subtract the number of people who approve from the total population:
1,800 - 450 = 1,350
Therefore, 1,350 people disapprove of the president's performance.
