Question

Jenna conducted a survey about favorite seasons. One half of the people surveyed said that they liked summer the best. One fifth of the remaining said that they liked fall the best. If 5 people said that they liked fall best, how many people were resurveyed?

Answer 1

I'm pretty sure the answer is 50

Answer 2

Okay so lets look at this.

So we have two halfs.

One half likes summer.

One half likes some other season.

In the other half, 1/5 of that half said they liked fall. There were 5 people who liked fall. That would mean in the one half theres 25 people in total, so adding together both halfs its 50
