Question

Amelia surveyed 80 students at her school about their favorite subjec. Of those surveyed, 5 chose math as their favorite subject. If there are 750 students in the whole school, around how many like math?

Answer 1

Answer:

46.875, or around 47.

Step-by-step explanation:

first, we find the percentage of the 5 from the 80.

we simply divide 5/80, which equals 0.0625, or 6.25%.

Alright, so now we know that 6.25% of 80 is 5.

lets find 6.25% of 750.

to get that we just multiply 750 by 0.0625, which gives us 46.875.

Hope this helps
