A survey is conducted in a certain neighborhood to find out where find out residence favorite vacation spot 2/5 of the respondents or 80 residence said they like sitting spending their vacation at the beach which equation represents the number of residence are surveyed how many residents were surveyed
Let's represent the number of residents surveyed as x.
According to the information given, 2/5 of the respondents or 80 residents said they like spending their vacation at the beach.
This can be written as (2/5)x = 80.
To find out the total number of residents surveyed (x), we need to isolate x.
Multiplying both sides of the equation by (5/2) will give us:
x = 80 * (5/2)
Simplifying this expression, we find x = 200.
Therefore, 200 residents were surveyed in the neighborhood.
