Question

In a survey, a group of students were asked to name their favorite day of the week. There were 8 students who chose “other”.

How many students participated?

Saturday: 5%
Sunday: 90%

Answer 1

5 % of the students choose other. 95% choose either Saturday or Sunday.
Let x be the number of students who participated.

(5/100) * x = 8 Multiply both sides by 100
5 * x = 8*100
5*x = 800 Divide by 5
x = 800/5
x = 160 students participated in the survey <<<<< Answer
