Question

Skyler goes to a school which has 1000 students in it. She asks 40 random students whether they like the new 8.30am start to the day. 30 of them say "no" they do not like it. Use the information to estimate how many students in the whole school dislike the 8.30am start.

Answer 1

30/40 say no, so x/1000 would say no. 1000/40=25, 25*30=750. So, about 750 would dislike it.
