Question

On a survey of students at CAMS, 75% of students said

they preferred Soda instead of Juice.
6. If 420 students preferred Soda, how many students
did they survey in total?

Answer 1

Answer:Total number of students surveyed =560

Explanation:

Number of students who preferred soda =420

Percentage of students who preferred Soda =75%

Percentage of students who preferred juice =100-75%=25%

Using the formula,

Percentage of students who preferred Soda x total number of students surveyed =Number of students who preferred soda

Therefore we have that

total number of students surveyed =Number of students who prefeerd juice/Percentage of students who preferred Soda

Total number of students surveyed =420/75%

=560
