Ms. Sue i know we had our differences in the past and im sorry but i need help here is the question if 30 sixth graders own birds how many sixth graders were surveyed theirs a pie graph with 5% reptiles 5% birds 10% fish 35% cats and 45% dogs.
This doesn't help!
😡
0.05x = 30
Solve for x.
Thank you so much
You're welcome.
How would I calculate the 35% and 45%?
How do you solve for x? I was thinking you find what times .05 = 30 but I can't figure out how it would help with the rest of the problem. I can't think of how else to solve x though
No problem, I'm here to help! To answer your question, we need to analyze the information given in the pie graph.
Let's start with the fact that 5% of the pie graph represents the proportion of sixth graders who own birds. Since we know that 5% of the total sixth graders surveyed own birds, we can find the number of sixth graders by dividing the percentage by 100 and then multiplying it by the total number of students.
So, to calculate the number of sixth graders who own birds, we'll use the following formula:
Number of sixth graders with birds = (Percentage of birds / 100) * Total number of sixth graders surveyed
Given that the percentage of birds is 5% and we don't have the total number of sixth graders surveyed, we won't be able to determine the exact number of sixth graders with birds.
However, if you have the information about the total number of sixth graders surveyed, you can substitute that number into the formula to find the answer.
