Answer 1

Answer: The total costumers were surveyed = 500

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\ (25)/(100)* x = 125\\\\\Rightarrow\ (1)/(4)x=125\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=125*4\\\\\Rightarrow\ x= 500`

Hence, the total costumers were surveyed = 500
