Answer: 500 people
Step-by-step explanation:
Let there are x people in the survey.
According to the question,
People who like football as their favorite sports = 42 % of x = 0.42 x
People who like baseball as their favorite sports = 33 % of x = 0.33 x
People who like soccer as their favorite sports = 25 % of x = 0.25 x
But, 210 people said football was their favorite sport.
⇒ 0.42 x = 210
⇒ 42 x = 21000
⇒ x = 500
Therefore, there are 500 people in the survey.
