Question

The cafeteria at Midtown Middle School surveyed 575 students about their favorite food. Find the number of students that responded for each of the following. Show your work.

chicken: 8%
salad: 20%
burgers: 16%
fruit:24%

Answer 1

Heya someone else already explained but I’ll give it a go too! :) so 575 is 100%
Therefore when
575 —> 100%
X—> 8%
Then you cross multiply, 100x= 575x8
X= (575x8)/100.
That’s the mount of students for chicken :) continue this system to get the other values, hope this helped <3
