A survey of shoppers at a grocery store found that 40% of shoppers were buying food for a week or more. If 50 shoppers were surveyed, how many shoppers were buying food for a week or more?(1 point)
shoppers were buying food for a week or more.
40% of 50 shoppers = (40/100) * 50 = 20 shoppers.
Therefore, 20 shoppers were buying food for a week or more.
To find the number of shoppers who were buying food for a week or more, we can multiply the total number of shoppers by the percentage of shoppers buying food for a week or more.
Total number of shoppers surveyed = 50
Percentage of shoppers buying for a week or more = 40%
Number of shoppers buying for a week or more = (Total number of shoppers) * (Percentage of shoppers buying for a week or more)
= 50 * 40%
= 50 * 0.40
= 20
Therefore, 20 shoppers were buying food for a week or more.
To find out how many shoppers were buying food for a week or more, we can use the fact that 40% of the shoppers fall into this category.
First, we need to find 40% of the total number of shoppers surveyed.
40% can be written as a decimal by dividing it by 100: 40/100 = 0.4.
Next, we multiply this decimal by the total number of shoppers surveyed (50): 0.4 * 50 = 20.
Therefore, there were 20 shoppers who were buying food for a week or more.
