Answer 1

Answer: The total costumers were surveyed = 500

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = total costumers were surveyed.

Given : 125 people chose chocolate as their favorite flavor, which represents 25% of the costumers surveyed.

25% of x = 125

$\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{25}{100}\times x = 125\\\\\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{1}{4}x=125\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=125\times4\\\\\Rightarrow\ x= 500$

Hence, the total costumers were surveyed = 500
