Question

Ronald Fast Food randomly selected 20 percent of locations and asked the manager about the most popular meat. Of the locations surveyed, beef is the most popular meat at 4 locations. Based on the data, what is the most reasonable estimate of the number of Ronald Fast Food locations where the most popular meat is beef?

Answer 1

The Answer is 20 since you can always1 divide the number of locations with the percentage and then multiply that by 100 since its going to be a percentage.

1 = not really all the time because it depends on the type of question and what it's asking you.

Mathematical Explanation:

4/20 = 1/5

1/5 = 0.2

0.2 * 100 = 20

Answer 2

Approximately 2%. The reason is if you choose 20% and only have four with beef as the most popular, and approximately the number of restaurants is 15.
