Question

A circle graph shows the results of a survey about which vegetable is most liked.

Circle graph:
15% Corn
20% Peas
25% beans
40% Carrots
If 600 people were surveyed, how many more people like carrots than corn?

Answer 1

Explanation:

150

Answer 2

To find the number of people who like each vegetable, we need to calculate the corresponding percentage of 600 people:

• Corn: 15% of 600 = 0.15 x 600 = 90
• Peas: 20% of 600 = 0.20 x 600 = 120
• Beans: 25% of 600 = 0.25 x 600 = 150
• Carrots: 40% of 600 = 0.40 x 600 = 240

To find how many more people like carrots than corn, we subtract the number of people who like corn from the number of people who like carrots:

• 240 - 90 = 150

Therefore, 150 more people like carrots than corn.
