Members of the computer club voted for their favorite snack. 3 out of 5 people voted for chips. The others voted for pretzels. If 33 people voted for chips, how many fewer people voted for pretzels?
3/5 = 33/55
so 22 voted for pretzels.
3/5)M = 33
M = 33 (5/3) = 55
Those that voted for pretzels = 55 - 33 = 22 ( 11 fewer )
