Question

3. A random survey of the quality of Raleigh city parks is taken. Sixty-five percent of the people surveyed were pleased with the condition of the parks. If 280 people were surveyed, then how many were pleased?

Answer 1

Answer: 182 people

Explanation:

The following can be deduced from the question:

Number of people surveyed = 280

Percentage of people pleased = 65%

The number of people that were pleased will be:

= Percentage of people that were pleased × Number of people surveyed

= 65% × 280

= 65/100 × 280

= 0.65 × 280

= 182

182 people were pleased with the condition of the park
