Question

If 50 people were surveyed, how many people chose The Lion King as their favorite?



7

14

21

28

Answer 1

(50)(.28)

Answer 2

It's a ratio. From the chart, you can see that 28 percent of the total number of people surveyed chose the Lion King.
So if L is the number of people who chose the Lion King and T is the total number of people surveyed, then that means that
L/T = 28/100
They tell you that T= 50, so
L/50 = 28/100
Solve for L.
