How many people how many students chose a Viking as their new mascot?

Answer 1

14 people chose the tiger and this equals 100-72 = 28%

So the percentage who shose the eag;e and the polar bear = 17/14 * 28 = 34%

So 100 - 28 - 34 = 38% chose the Viking This equals 38 * 0.5 =19 students.<---- Answer

Total number of students = 100 * 0.5 = 50. answer

Answer 2

19 students chose viking.

Explanation:

Jesse spilled water on the paper but he knows that 72% of the students chose a mascot other than a tiger.

11 people chose the eagle six people chose the polar bear 14 people chose the tiger.

Let the total students be = x

And 14 people chose tiger this means only 28% students chose tiger.

`0.28x=14`

x=50

Hence, total students are 50.

Now, out of 50, 14 chose tiger, 11 chose eagle, 6 chose polar bear. Total are :
`14+11+6=31`

Hence,
`50-31=19` students chose Viking.
