I would go with Jesses survey.
Unlike everyone else’s survey Jesse chose 6th grade students in random, causing a more unbiased research.
Lily is not correct her answer is wrong.
0.5% or 1/2% of say "x" is 250, whilst "x" is the 100%.
![\begin{array}{ccll} \%&amount\\ \cline{1-2} \frac{1}{2}&250\\[1em] 100&x \end{array}\implies \cfrac{~~ \frac{1}{2}~~}{100}=\cfrac{250}{x}\implies \cfrac{1}{200}=\cfrac{250}{x}\implies x = 50000](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccll%7D%20%5C%25%26amount%5C%5C%20%5Ccline%7B1-2%7D%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%26250%5C%5C%5B1em%5D%20100%26x%20%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cimplies%20%5Ccfrac%7B~~%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D~~%7D%7B100%7D%3D%5Ccfrac%7B250%7D%7Bx%7D%5Cimplies%20%5Ccfrac%7B1%7D%7B200%7D%3D%5Ccfrac%7B250%7D%7Bx%7D%5Cimplies%20x%20%3D%2050000)

I always start by moving the last term to the other side

To complete the square you take term 'b' , divide it by 2 then square it

= 25
We have to add 25 to what we have and what you do to one side you have to do to the other


Now we factor what is on the left side of the equation

The last step is to move our right side of the equation back over

- which is your answer :)))
The answer is B because you multiply 2500 by 7 and then add it to 50,000
