Question

A survey of all beings on planet Naxvip found that 96% preferred quert juice to all other juices. If 120 beings preferred quert juice, how many beings were surveyed altogether

Answer 1

Answer:

125 people were surveyed altogether.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Percentage of people who preferred quert juice to all other juices = 96%

Number of people who preferred quert juice = 120

Let x be the number of people who were surveyed.

Thus, we can write the equation:

$96\%\times x = 120\\\\\dfrac{96}{100}\times x = 120\\\\x = \dfrac{120\times 100}{96}\\\\x = 125$

Thus, 125 people were surveyed altogether.
