The circle graph below shows the percent of students in Jim's class
that prefer each sport.
baseball: 30%
basketball: 15%
soccer: 10%
X
football: 45%
If 50 students were surveyed, how many students prefer any sport but
soccer?

Answer 1

45 students

Explanation:

To find how many students don't prefer soccer, we have to take 90% of 50. This is because 10% of the 50 students like soccer, so the percentage that don't like it is 100-10=90%. 90% of 50 = 0.9*50 = 45 students.
