Question

Approximately 59% of films are rated R. if 930 films were recently rated, how many were rated R?

Answer 1

About 549

Explanation:

You have to set it up as a proportion, setting the percent and the number of movies equal.

`(59)/(100) = (x)/(930)`

X - Number of R-Rated movies.

Now, cross multiply, multiplying the numerator of the left and the denominator to the right, and vice versa.

`100x = 54,870`

Now, solve the inequality.

`x = 548.7`

Now, round up.

`x = 549`

The answer is 15.7627118644

Explanation:
