A pie chart labeled Favorite Sports to Watch is divided into three portions. Football represents 42 percent, baseball represents 33 percent, and soccer represents 25 percent. If 210 people said football was their favorite sport to watch, how many people were surveyed?

Answer 1

Answer: 500 people

Explanation:

Given: The number of people said football is their favorite sport=210

The percent of people represent football = 42%=0.42

Let x be the total number of people surveyed .

Then according to the question,

`42\%\ of\ x=210\\\Rightarrow\ 0.42x=210\\\Rightarrow\ x=(210)/(0.42)\\\Rightarrow\ x=500`

hence, the total number of people survey is 500.
