Question

Ursula surveyed 50 classmates about their favorite icecream flavors. Each classmate chose one flavor. The results are shown in the circle graph below.

How many more of Ursulas classmates choose chocolate then vanilla

Answer 1

13 more students chose chocolate over vanilla, chocolate has two times more classmates who chose it over vanilla (2x).

Explanation:

If we add the percentages we get, 42 + 18 + 14 = 74. Meaning the remaining (Vanilla) is 26%. Which is half of the chocolate.

Yet it's 50 students so we divide our percentages by 2 and that's how many students per category chose that.

So 26/50 or 26 students chose chocolate and 13/50 or 13 students chose Vanilla.

13 more students chose chocolate over vanilla, chocolate has two times more classmates who chose it over vanilla.

Answer 2

16%

Explanation:

26% of people chose vanilla, so 16% of ursulas classmates choose chocolate over vanilla

if you break it down more theres 100% graph and 50 claamates meaning if you divide it all by 2 you get the number of students;

chocolate:21

Strawberry:9

coffee:7

vanilla:13
