Question

Naomi surveyed 480 of the students in her school about their favorite color. 95% said their favorite color was red. How many students' favorite color was red?

Answer 1

456 students

Explanation:

In order to find 95% of the 480 students, you can set up the equation below:

`(students)/(total) = (percent)/(100percent)`

`(x)/(480students) =(95percent)/(100 percent)`

x * 100 = 480 * 95

x = 45600 / 100 = 456

95% of 480 students is 456 students.
