Question

Annette is surveying people in the city about their interest in a new shopping mall.
She found that 180 people, or 37.5% of those surveyed, do not want a new mall.
How many people did Annette survey?

Answer 1

Answer:

number of people surveyed=180

percentage of people surveyed=37.5%

let the no. of people Annette surveyed be x

therefore

37.5% of x = 180

375/1000 of x = 180

375x= 180000

x= 180000/375

x=480
