Question

A school counselor wanted to survey 50 seniors at her school to see what their intended major was for college. She found out that 20 chose business, 6 chose humanities, 16 chose science, and 8 chose other. Out of the 600 seniors at her school, what is a reasonable estimate of the number of seniors that will choose to major in business?

Answer 1

240

Explanation:

20/50 student chose business

the total student are 600 so if you divide 600 by 50 it would give you 12, meaning 50 x 12 is 600, making it possible to see how many student chose business, so you multiply 20 x 12= which would be 240.

Answer 2

240 out of 600 will major in business
