Question

Use the circle graph shown below to answer the question.

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

500 people were surveyed

Explanation:

Given in the question,

42% voted football to be there favourite sport

33% voted baseball to be there favourite sport

25% voted soccer to be there favourite sport

Suppose total number of people who were surveyed = x

if 42% of total people surveyed = 210

then total = x

(42/100) * x = 210

42x = 210 * 100

42x = 21000

x = 21000/42

x = 500

So total number of people who were surveyed = 500
