if 30 6th graders own birds, how many sixth-graders were surveyed?
I don't know how to do this, all i can come up with is that there was a lot of people surveyed.

Toyland is having a sale. All items are 20% off. How much will you save on an item that usually sells for $95? I think it would be 95 - 20% so 76?
5% = 30 so
Reptiles-30
birds-30
fish-60
cats-210
dogs-270.
Add it all up and you get
270
210
60
30
+_̲3̲0̲
600
Sorry if i'm late
I'm confused
1.0.05x = 30
2.Yes it’s 76
you would do 95-20%=76
then you would 95-76=19
so you saved 19$ on something that was 95$
thank you @thx he/she is completely right i got a 100 on the quizz part 2
No problem hope y'all have a great day.
i need help
he already gave the answer
To answer the first question about the number of sixth-graders surveyed, we can use the information given in the pie chart. We know that 5% of the surveyed group owns birds. If 30 sixth-graders own birds, we can set up a proportion to find the total number of sixth-graders surveyed.
Let's assume that there were "x" total number of sixth-graders surveyed.
We can set up the proportion:
(5/100) = (30/x)
To solve for x, we can cross multiply and then divide:
5 * x = 30 * 100
5x = 3000
x = 3000 / 5
x = 600
Therefore, the total number of sixth-graders surveyed would be 600.
Now, moving on to the second question about the amount saved on an item during a sale, we can apply the concept of finding a percentage of a quantity.
Given that the item usually sells for $95 and there is a 20% discount, we can calculate the amount saved by finding 20% of $95.
To calculate this, we multiply $95 by 20% (which can also be expressed as 0.20):
Amount saved = $95 * 0.20
Amount saved = $19
Therefore, you would save $19 on an item that usually sells for $95 during the sale.
.30x = 30
x = 30/.3 = 100
not 95-0.2 but 95*0.2 = = 19.00
you should have subtracted the amount saved, not the price ratio..
