Question

Laticia randomly selected 25% of the seventh-grade students in her school an asked them their favorite season.Of the students surveyed,51 chose summer as their favorite season. Based on the data, what is the most reasonable prediction of the number of seventh-grade students in her school who would choose summer as their favorite season.

Answer 1

if 25% is 51 students an easy way of finding it would be adding 51 4 times. so the answer should be 204. unless im wrong then im sorry.

Answer 2

25% is equal to 1/4. If 51 is 25% of the students, that means it is 1/4. To find the total amount of students who would choose summer, you multiply 51 x 4 and you get 204 students, give some/take some. Hope this helps!
