Question

On a recent survey, 40% of those surveyed indicated that they preferred walking to running. If 540 people preferred walking, how many people were surveyed

Answer 1

The Total number of people were surveyed is 1,350 people.

Explanation:

Given as :

The total number of people who preferred walking = 540 people

The percentage of people who preferred walking to running = 40% of the total people

Let The Total number of people were surveyed = n people

Now, According to question

The total number of people who preferred walking = 40% of the total number of people were surveyed

Or, 40% of n = 540

Or,
`(40)/(100)` × n = 540

Or, n =
`(540* 100)/(40)`

∴ n = 1350

So,Total number of people were surveyed = n = 1350 people

Hence,The Total number of people were surveyed is 1,350 people. Answer
