Question

Gary conducted a survey to find out the students’ response to the cafeteria food. Fifty students think that there should be more healthy food served. This is five-sevenths of the total students surveyed. How many did Gary survey?

Answer 1

5/7 of the total students surveyed = 50
call the total number of students surveyed X, X for unknown
5/7 of X means 5/7 times X (remember this)
