Question

At a recent football game of 8,450 in attendance, 150 people were asked what they prefer on a hot dog. The results are shown.

Ketchup Relish Chili
54 36 60


Based on the data in this sample, how many of the people in attendance would prefer chili on a hot dog?
5,070
3,380
2,986
2,084

Answer 1

Answer:3,380

Explanation:

we need to apply cross-multiplication to the ratio of chili preferences in the sample (60) against the total attendance (8450). This gives us:

(60/150) = (x/8450)

where x is the number of people in attendance who would prefer chili on a hot dog.

Simplifying this equation, we get:

x = (60/150) * 8450x = 3,380
