I have 210 people say football was your favorite sport to watch how many people were surveyed if 42% were surveyed
I got 210x 0.42
No.
0.42x = 210
To find out how many people were surveyed, you can use proportions.
First, calculate 42% of the total number of people surveyed. Since 42% is equivalent to 0.42 (42 divided by 100), multiply 0.42 by the total number of people surveyed:
0.42 * Total number of people surveyed = 210
To find the total number of people surveyed, divide both sides of the equation by 0.42:
Total number of people surveyed = 210 / 0.42
Now, let's calculate it:
Total number of people surveyed = 500
Therefore, there were 500 people surveyed in total.
