Question

An ice cream company did a survey among high school students. it was found that 86 students liked vanilla ice cream and 48 of those students liked

chocolate ice cream also. there were 12 students who did not like vanilla ice cream but liked chocolate ice cream. there were 2 students who did not like either vanilla ice cream or chocolate ice cream. using a two-way table, predict the number of students who would like chocolate ice cream when 500 high school students participate in the survey. 250 300 350 400

Answer 1

300 is the correct answer!

Answer 2

The answer is 300 students.

Explanation:

The total number of students surveyed are = 86+12+2=100.

The number of students who like chocolate ice cream are = 48+12=60.

If 500 students are surveyed, then the number of students who would like chocolate ice cream will be = Let it be x

The relation becomes:

`(60)/(100)=(x)/(500)`

`x=(60*500)/(100)`

x = 300

Hence, the correct answer is 300 students.
