There were 75 people surveyed
Step-by-step explanation:
People leaving an ice cream store were asked to name their favorite flavor of ice cream
- Fifty-one people said chocolate was their favorite flavor
- 68% of the people surveyed said chocolate
We need to find how many people were surveyed
Assume that x people were surveyed
∵ 51 people said chocolate was their favorite flavor
∵ 68% of the people surveyed said chocolate
∵ x people were surveyed
- That means 68% of x is equivalent to 51
∴ 68% × x = 51
∵ 68% = 68 ÷ 100 = 0.68
∴ 0.68 x = 51
- Divide both sides by 0.68
∴ x = 75
There were 75 people surveyed
