Question

A survey showed that 60% of students would

select bumper cars as their favorite ride at an
amusement park. Out of 4,000 students,
predict how many would select roller coasters
as their favorite ride?

Answer 1

Answer is 40% or 1600 students

Step by step

Assuming there are only two choices, out of 100%, 60% chose bumper cars.

100 - 60 = 40% chose roller coaster

40% is the same as .40 decimal

Multiply .40 x 4000 students = 1600 students chose roller coaster
