Hey Siri has a population of 2000. If 1500 residents speak Spanish, what percent of the population is Spanish-speaking?
A: 80%
B: 85%
C: 75%
D: 70%
To find the percent of the population that speaks Spanish, we divide the number of Spanish speakers by the total population and then multiply by 100.
Percent of Spanish-speaking population = (Number of Spanish speakers / Total population) x 100
Percent of Spanish-speaking population = (1500 / 2000) x 100
Percent of Spanish-speaking population = 0.75 x 100
Percent of Spanish-speaking population = 75
Therefore, the correct answer is C: 75%.
