Answer 1

Answer: 280

Explanation:

Given : A random survey of the quality of city park is taken.

65% of the people surveyed were pleased with the condition of the parks.

here, 65% can be written as 0.65.

Let x be the total number of people surveyed.

If 182 people were pleased, then we have

`0.65x=182\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=(182)/(0.65)=280`

hence, the number of people were surveyed = 280

Answer 2

280 people

Explanation:

Given that 65% of people surveyed were pleased with condition of the park.

Given that those pleased were 182 people, then finding the total number of people surveyed will be;

65%= 182 people

100%= ?--------------------cross multiply

`(65)/(100) *x=182\\\\\\65x=18200\\\\\\x=(18200)/(65) \\\\\\x=280`
