Type Number
Action 154
Sci-Fi 116
Romance 109
Comedy 78
Drama 43

Answer 1

Answer:

924 teenagers

Step-by-step explanation:

154 / 500 ×3000

= 924

Since 154 teenagers out of 500 prefer action movies, you'll just divide them by their total number 500 multiplied by the other total number 3000 to get the others who prefer action movies.

trying the others too

sci- fi

116 / 500 × 3000

= 696

romance

109 / 500 × 3000

= 654

comedy

78 / 500 × 3000

= 468

drama

43 / 500 × 3000

= 258

putting all of them together should give u ur total number

924 + 696+ 654 + 468 +258

= 3000
