Answer 1

267.64 students

Explanation:

Let the total number of students that took the survey be represented as x

This number represented 68% of the number of students who took the survey.

The results showed that 182 students rated pizza as their favorite food.

Therefore:

68% × x = 182 Students

68/100 × x = 182

68x/100 = 182

Cross Multiply

68x = 182 × 100

x = 182 × 100/68

x= 267.64705882 students

Therefore, the total number of students that took the survey is Approximately 267. 64 students
