Question

On a recent survey, 30% of those surveyed indicated that they preferred taking the bus to taking the train. If 90 people preferred taking the bus, how many people were surveyed? *

Answer 1

300 people

Explanation:

90 divided by 30 equals 3 that means each percent is equal to 3 people. multiply 3 by 100 and you get three hundred

Answer 2

300 people

Explanation:

30% = 0.3

0.3 = 90 people

(divide both sides by 3)

0.1 = 30

Therefore 10% of the people surveyed = 30

To find 100%

30 x 10 = 300
