Question

There are 28 people surveyed. If 1/4 of the people like pizza and 2/7 of the people like corn dogs, the remaining people prefer hamburgers. How many people prefer hamburgers?

a. 8
b. 9
c. 10
d. 11

Answer 1

To find the number of people who prefer hamburgers, subtract the number of people who like pizza and corn dogs from the total number of people surveyed.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of people who prefer hamburgers, we need to subtract the number of people who like pizza and corn dogs from the total number of people surveyed.

28 * (1/4) = 7 people like pizza

28 * (2/7) = 8 people like corn dogs

Therefore, the remaining people prefer hamburgers:

28 - 7 (pizza) - 8 (corn dogs) = 13

So, 13 people prefer hamburgers. The answer is 13.
