1 of 11 of 1 Items 00:46 Question Collin surveyed 60 of his classmates about their favorite sport. Each classmate chose one sport. The results are shown in the circle graph. How many more of Collin’s classmates chose football than chose soccer? Responses A 55 B 1010 C 33 D 1212
To determine the number of classmates who chose football, we need to find the percentage of students who chose football and then convert that into a number.
The circle graph shows that football takes up 55% of the total. To find the number of classmates who chose football, we multiply 60 (the total number of classmates surveyed) by 55% (0.55):
60 * 0.55 = 33
Therefore, 33 of Collin's classmates chose football.
To determine the number of classmates who chose soccer, we can subtract the percentage of football from 100% (since the total percentage must add up to 100%). In this case, that would be:
100% - 55% = 45%
To find the number of classmates who chose soccer, we multiply 60 (the total number of classmates surveyed) by 45% (0.45):
60 * 0.45 = 27
Therefore, 27 of Collin's classmates chose soccer.
To find the difference between the number of classmates who chose football and soccer, we subtract the number of classmates who chose soccer from the number of classmates who chose football:
33 - 27 = 6
So, 6 more classmates chose football than chose soccer.
The answer is A) 5
