Debbie's city took a survey about a plan for a new park. The city surveyed 600 people. 60% of the people surveyed liked the plan

lukranit [14]

Hi there.

All we have to do to find out how many people like the plan is multiplication.

We multiply the total number of people by 60% - in decimal form.

600 · 0.6 = 360

360 people liked the plan.
