First we simplify 12 out of every 15 people: \frac{12}{15}}: \frac{3}{3}= \frac{4}{5}}. \frac{4}{5}}= \frac{400}{x}= \frac{4*100}{5*100}= \frac{400}{500}}. Now we do this: \frac{30}{2hours}= \frac{30:2}{2:2}= \frac{15}{1hour}. Therefore, she charges $15 per hour, but for 5 hours it would be $75 because $15*5=$75. But, your answer is 500 people took the survey. Hoped I helped. :)

500 people took the survey.

12 out of 15 people is 80% of the population.  12/15 = 0.80
Thus, 80% of the population prefers eating in the restaurant.
 
If 400 represents the people who prefers eating in the restaurant; then, 400 is the 80% of the population. To get the total population or 100%, we must divide 400 by 0.80 or 80%

400 / 0.80 = 500 people.

Out of the 500 people, 400 selected eating in the restaurant while the remaining 20% of the population or 100 people selected cooking at home.

What is the median of the data set?
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]
7. because you would put the number set into order from least to greatest first, ti would look like this: 2,3,4,5,9,10,12,12. then go to the middle, crossing one from each side off at one time. Then you get 5 and 9 in the middle. Then the middle between 5 and 9 is seven, you can check this by: 5+9=14, then 14/2= 7.
Your median is 7.
