Question

The circle graph shows the results of a survey by a bakery on which of their new products 105 customerspreferred most. How many customers preferred cake? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

Answer 1

If 105 customers were the total, and 35% prefers cake, we must calculate 35% of 105, then we must do 105 multiplied by 35%, we can doit transforming the 35% in the fraction notation:

`35\%=(35)/(100)`

And the multiplication

`105\cdot(35)/(100)=36.75`

Therefore, if we round it to the nearest whole number, the number of customers that prefer cake is 37.

37 customers prefer cake.
