Question

The circle graph shows the results of a survey by a bakery on which of their new products 105 customerspreferred most. How many customers preferred cake? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

Answer 1

If 105 customers were the total, and 35% prefers cake, we must calculate 35% of 105, then we must do 105 multiplied by 35%, we can doit transforming the 35% in the fraction notation:

$35\%=\frac{35}{100}$

And the multiplication

$105\cdot\frac{35}{100}=36.75$

Therefore, if we round it to the nearest whole number, the number of customers that prefer cake is 37.

37 customers prefer cake.
