Question

The entire school of students were surveyed, a total of 950 students. 75% or students said they preferred chocolate ice cream to vanilla. How many students prefer chocolate ice cream?

Answer 1

Number of students who prefer chocolate ice cream is approximately 713.

Explanation:

Given,

Total number of students = 950

Students who prefer chocolate ice cream = 75%

We have to find out number of students who prefer chocolate ice cream.

For calculating number of students who prefer chocolate ice cream, we have to multiply total number of students with given percentile of students.

Now framing the above sentence in equation form, we get;

Number of students who prefer chocolate ice cream =
`950*75\%`

Now we have to remove the percentile.

For this we have to divide 75 by 100, we get;

Number of students who prefer chocolate ice cream =
`950*(75)/(100)=(71250)/(100)=712.50\approx713`

Hence Number of students who prefer chocolate ice cream is approximately 713.
