Answer 2

Answer: 500 people

Explanation:

Let there are x people in the survey.

According to the question,

People who like football as their favorite sports = 42 % of x = 0.42 x

People who like baseball as their favorite sports = 33 % of x = 0.33 x

People who like soccer as their favorite sports = 25 % of x = 0.25 x

But, 210 people said football was their favorite sport.

⇒ 0.42 x = 210

⇒ 42 x = 21000

⇒ x = 500

Therefore, there are 500 people in the survey.
