Answer: 500 people
Step-by-step explanation:
Let there are x people in the survey.
According to the question,
People who like football as their favorite sports = 42 % of x = 0.42 x
People who like baseball as their favorite sports = 33 % of x = 0.33 x
People who like soccer as their favorite sports = 25 % of x = 0.25 x
But, 210 people said football was their favorite sport.
⇒ 0.42 x = 210
⇒ 42 x = 21000
⇒ x = 500
Therefore, there are 500 people in the survey.

Answer:
The answer is below
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Cost of hiring the bicycle for 14 days is:
Cost = 65 * 14 days + 44 = 954 riyals
b) The number of days the bicycle is hired is to be the same as the number of days the bicycle is to be hired. Let us assume that the bicycle and helmet is to be hired for x days, hence:
Cost of bicycle = 65 * x + 14 = 65x + 44
Cost of helmet = 12.5 * x = 12.5x
Total cost = 65x + 44 + 12.5x = 77.5x + 44
Since 750 riyals is available, hence:
750 = 77.5x + 44
77.5x = 706
x = 9.11
Therefore the maximum number of days is 11. The total cost for 11 days is:
Total cost = 77.5(9) + 44 = 741.5 riyals
Money not spent = 750 riyals - 741.5 riyals = 8.5 riyals
