Question

In a recent year, 17.7% of household watched the finals of a popular reality series. There are 110.2 million households in the United States. How many households watched the finals?

This is Find the percent of a number.

Answer 1

For this case we propose a rule of three:

110.2 million -------------> 100%

x --------------------------------------> 17.7%

Where the variable "x" represents the number of households (in millions) that watched the finals of a popular reality series.

`x =  \frac {17.7 * 110.2} {100}\\x = \frac {1950.54} {100}\\x = 19.5054`

Thus, a total of 19.5054 million homes watched the finals of a popular reality series.

Answer:

19.5054 million homes watched the finals of a popular reality series.
