Question

The results of a survey asking 500 people about their favorite ice cream flavor are shown in the table.

Answer 1

Chocolate = 18%

Vanilla = 25%

Strawberry = 12%

Mint Chip = 10%

Other = 35%

The explanation for me getting these exact percentages is because of the formulas given for calculating the percentages from specific numbers and real world problems like this. When you are trying to find the calculation precentages of these types of questions, you divide the number by the total surveyed and multiple by 100.

Example:

125 / 500 = 0.25

0.25 x 100 = 25%

So, this is also how I got the other numbers, just change the "125" to the other numbers.
