Question

The students at Norton School were asked to name their favorite type of pet. Of the 430ilar results, about students surveyed, 258 said that their favorite type of pet was a dog. Suppose that only 100 students were surveyed, with similar results about how many students would say that a dog is their favorite types of pet?

Answer 1

Answer: 60

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that 430 students were surveyed and 258 said that their favorite type of pet was a dog. The fraction/decimal of those that chose dog as their favorite pet will be:

= 258/430

= 3/5

= 0.6

Suppose that only 100 students were surveyed, the number of students that would say that a dog is their favorite types of pet will be:

= 0.6 × 100

= 60
