Question

Hakeem gave out a survey to some students in his school about their favorite color. 325 of those surveyed said their favorite color was red. If 65% of the students surveyed said their favorite color was red, how many students were surveyed in total?

Answer 1

Answer: Let's say the total number of students surveyed is "x".

We know that 65% of the students surveyed said their favorite color was red, which means that 325 students said their favorite color was red.

We can set up a proportion to solve for "x":

65/100 = 325/x

To solve for "x", we can cross-multiply:

65x = 32500

Dividing both sides by 65, we get:

x = 500

Therefore, Hakeem surveyed 500 students in total.
