Please help i've been stuck on this

Answer 1

The total number of people in the city surveyed by Annette= 480 people.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'X' be the Total Number of people Annette surveyed.

Out of Total people in the city, only 180 people are not interested in a new shopping mall.

Therefore, it is given in the question that 180 is 37.5% of Total number of people surveyed (X).

step 1: 180= (37.5/100)*(X)

step 2: X= (180*100)/37.5

step 3: X= 18000/37.5

step 4: X= 480
