Answer:
10 more students chose purple than red as their favorite color
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1
Determine the proportion of students that chose each color
purple=26%
red=22%
Step 2
Use the expression for the number of students per color as follows;
Number of students per color=proportion per color×total number of students
for purple;
proportion that chose purple=26%
total number of students=250
replacing;
Number of students that chose purple=(26/100)×250=65 students
for red;
proportion that chose red=22%
total number of students=250
replacing;
Number of students that chose purple=(22/100)×250=55 students
Step 3
Difference=65-55=10
10 more students chose purple than red as their favorite color
