Question

Sixty-five percent or 39 girls selected going to the movies as their favorite activity how many girls did the reporter survey

Answer 1

Hi!

We will solve this using proportions, like this:

65% = 0,65 _______ 39 girls

100% = 1 __________ x girls

x = (39*1)0,65 = 39/0,65

x = 60

Reporter surveyed 60 girls in total.

Hope this helps!
