Question

Eight hundred people in Dallas were surveyed about how they get to work. The results are displayed in the graph below.

How many people surveyed take public transportation or bike to work?
A. 240
B. 144
C. 168
D. 304

Answer 1

A. 240 people

Working out:

From the pie chart we can add both percentages for bikes and public transport (13% + 17%) which is 30%. Converting this into a decimal would give us ‘0.3’. Now we can do the percentage multiplied by the number of people (0.3 x 800) which gives us the answer of 240
