Question

You ask 200 randomly chosen students to name their favorite ice cream flavor. There are 1800 students in the school. Based on the results of the survey, predict the number of students in the school whose favorite ice cream flavor is chocolate.

Answer 1

Answer:

351

Step-by-step explanation:

Complete question :

Vanilla= 36

Chocolate=21

Strawberry=24

Chocolate Chip=39

SOLUTION:

39 chocolate chip to 200 students = x chocolate chip to 1800 students

39/200 = x / 1800

Solving for 'x'

(200)(x) = (39)(1800)

200x = 70200

x = 70200/200

x = 351

OR

39 out of 200 picked chocolate chip

therefore, 39/200 = 0.195 = 19.5%  ( 32.5% chose chocolate chip)

19.5% of 1800 = 0.195(1800) = 351 students
