If 210 people said football was their favorite sport to watch, how many people were surveyed?
210 people said football was their favorite sport to watch.
We know that 42% of the people surveyed said football was their favorite sport to watch.
We can set up a proportion to solve this problem:
210/42 = x/100
Cross multiply and solve for x:
210*100 = 42x
x = 5000/42
x = 119.05
Therefore, 119.05 people were surveyed.
