22. The table shows the results of a survey about favorite types of music in Bethaney's school. Favorite Types of Music Percent Type of Music Rock 25 Rap 140 Pop b 25% 35% 40% If 140 students voted for rap, how many students were surveyed?​

Answer 1

the total number of students surveyed is 14000.

Explanation:

We are given that 140 students voted for rap, and we know that rap is 25% of the total number of students surveyed. Therefore, we can set up the following equation to represent the information given in the problem:

140 students = 25% * x

We can then solve this equation for x to find the total number of students surveyed. First, we need to divide both sides of the equation by 25% to isolate x:

140 students / 25% = x

Next, we need to convert the percentage to a decimal by dividing by 100:

140 students / 0.25 = x

Finally, we can solve for x by multiplying both sides of the equation by 0.25:

140 students / 0.25 * 0.25 = x * 0.25

x = 140 students * 0.25 / 0.25

x = 3500 / 0.25

x = 14000
