Answer: 70 critics.

Explanation:

You need to analize the information given in the exercise.

For this exercise let "x" represents the total number of critics that reviewed the sequel to "My Giant" .

You know that the total number represents the 100% of those critics.

According to the information given in the exercise, you know that the 7 critics that liked the sequel mentioned in the exercise, represents 10% of all the total critics.

Then, keeping the above on mind, you can set up the following proportion:


(10)/(7)=(100)/(x)

Therefore, the final step you must apply is to solve for the variable "x" in order to calculate its value.

You get that this is:


(x)((10)/(7))=100\\\\x=(100)((7)/(10))\\\\x=70
