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?
My answer: 500. 210 ➗ 0.42 = 500
Is this correct?
Yes, your answer is correct. To determine the total number of people surveyed, you can divide the number of people who said football was their favorite sport to watch (210) by the percentage represented by football on the pie chart (42%).
So, 210 divided by 0.42 is equal to 500.
Therefore, if 210 people said football was their favorite sport to watch, then the total number of people surveyed is 500.
