According to a survey of 100 people, 15 percent of the people chose famous landmarks. How many people chose famous landmarks as their favorite vacation destination?
0.15 * 100 = ?
15% = .15
.15 * 100 = ?
To answer this question, we can use the given information that 15% of the people in the survey chose famous landmarks as their favorite vacation destination.
To find out how many people chose famous landmarks, we need to calculate 15% of the total number of people surveyed.
First, we find the number of people represented by 1% by dividing the total number of people surveyed by 100:
1% = (Total number of people surveyed / 100)
Since we are looking for 15%, we can multiply the number of people represented by 1% by 15:
15% = 15 * (Total number of people surveyed / 100)
By simplifying this equation, we can find the number of people who chose famous landmarks as their favorite vacation destination.
