Use the circle graph shown below to answer the question.
A pie chart labeled Favorite Sports to Watch is divided into three portions. Football represents 42 percent, baseball represents 33 percent, and soccer represents 25 percent.
If 210 people said football was their favorite sport to watch, how many people were surveyed? I LOVE BTS I AM ARMY plz help me!!!
To find out how many people were surveyed, we need to calculate the total number of people based on the given percentages.
First, let's calculate the fraction of people who chose football as their favorite sport. Since 42 percent represents football, we can convert it to a decimal by dividing it by 100: 42/100 = 0.42.
Next, we need to find the total number of people surveyed. Let's represent this number as "x".
According to the given information, 0.42x people chose football as their favorite sport.
We can set up an equation using the number of people who chose football: 0.42x = 210.
To solve for "x," divide both sides of the equation by 0.42: x = 210 / 0.42.
Evaluating the expression, we get x ≈ 500.
Thus, approximately 500 people were surveyed to gather the data represented in the circle graph.
0.42P = 210
