If 210 people said football was their favorite sport to watch, how many people were surveyed?
Answer:
210 people said football was their favorite sport to watch.
42% of the people surveyed said football was their favorite sport to watch.
We can set up the equation:
0.42x = 210
We can divide both sides by 0.42 to solve for x:
x = 210/0.42
x = 500 people
Therefore, 500 people were surveyed.
