Question

n a survey about favorite fruits, 28 people chose apples, 17 chose oranges, and the rest chose pears. If 60 people were surveyed, what percent chose pears?

Answer 1

Based on the number of people who chose the other fruits, the percentage of people who chose pears was 25%.

Number of people who chose pears

= Number of participants - Number who chose apples - Number who chose oranges

= 60 - 28 - 17

= 15 people

Percentage who chose pears

= Number of people who chose pears / Total number of people x 100%

= 15 / 60 x 100%

= 25%

In conclusion, 25% chose pears.
