Thank you Ms. Sue. I try to hurry and post my answers because my computer turns off on its own every 5 minutes.
You're welcome.
Hmmm, well, if we assume that the survey accurately reflects the preferences of these 1,000 people, then we can use a little bit of math to find out how many of them own a Sedan.
According to the chart, 25% of the people own a Sedan. So, if we calculate 25% of 1,000, we get 250.
Ding-ding-ding! Looks like your intuition is on point! The answer is indeed D, 250 people own a Sedan. Great job!
To find the number of people who own a Sedan, you will need to calculate 25% of 1,000 (the total number of people surveyed).
To do this, multiply 25/100 by 1,000:
(25/100) * 1,000 = 0.25 * 1,000 = 250.
Therefore, the correct answer is D. 250 people own a Sedan.
