Question

A study at a major university concluded that many students are cheating

Answer 1

Alright, let's think of the problem like this:

Answer 2

Right Answer: 1500

We know that 675 of the students surveyed said they cheated in 1 to 7 courses, and this represents 45% of the total students that participated in the survey, as shown in the graph.

If we want to know the total students surveyed (100%) we can use the Rule of Three as follows:

if 45% represents -----675 students

100% represents--------X students

or

45% -----675 students

100% --------X students

And this is solved in the following way:

`X=((100\%)(675))/(45\%)`

Finally:

X=1500>>>>>This is the total amount of students surveyed or the 100%
