Question

Seven hundred fifty people, or 22% of the respondents, said they would save the money. How many people responded to the survey

Answer 1

In other words, 740 is 22% of "some number."

"per cent" means "out of 100." So...

Set up a proportion: 22/100 = 740/n

Cross-multiply so that 22n = 74,000

Then divide both sides by 22 to get...

n = 3363.6, but since you can't have .6 of a person, round up to 3364.

Hope this helps!
