Question

Rodrigo's city took a telephone poll about a plan to build a new hotel downtown. 4,000 people took the poll. 1,520 of them were in favor of the new hotel. What percentage of the people polled were in favor of the hotel?

Answer 1

38%

Explanation:

Number of people who took the poll = 4000

Number of people who supported the new hotel = 1520

The percentage of the people polled were in favor of the hotel will be:

= Number of people who supported the new hotel / Number of people who took the poll × 100

= 1520 / 4000 × 100

= 0.38 × 100

= 38%
