Question

An online gaming site conducted a survey to determine the types of games people play online. if 1500 people participated in the study how many more would play card games than arcade games (Page 824)

Answer 1

The number of more people that played card games than arcade games is 150 people

Explanation:

Here we have a pie chart showing games people play in the following proportions

Assumption; Card games = 49%

Arcade games = 32%

Classic = 15%

Kids = 4%

Therefore. if 49% played card games, we have 49% of 1500 which is 735 people, while 32% that played arcade games, we have 39% of 1500 = 0.39×1500 = 585

Therefore, the number of more people that played card games than arcade games = 735 - 585 = 150 people.

Answer 2

315

Explanation:

The missing percentages of the given scenario are;

Adventure Games: 22%

Puzzles: 28%

Card Games: 30%

Arcade Games: 9%

Board Games: 11%

So in order to solve the problem, we simply use the pie chart distributions to get the result

Now if look at the percentages, we that card games percentage is 30 while arcade games is 9 so, 21 % of people play more card games.

In terms of number of people = 21/100 x 1500 = 315

Hence out of 1500, 315 people play card games more than arcade
