Question

A video company randomly selected 100 of its subscribers and asked them how many hours of shows they watch per week. Of those surveyed, 45 watch more than 10 hours per week. Based on the data, if the company has 2500 subscribers, how many watch more than 10 hours per week?

Answer 1

1,135 people

For every 100 people only 45 people watch more than 10 hours per week. So, the ratio is (45/100), since the company has 2500 we want to know what (x/2500) is. The total ratio becomes (1,135/2,500).

The number is found by dividing 2500 by 100 to receive the common factor of 25. You multiply 45 by 25 to receive your total answer.
