Question

a survey asked people whether they like playing golf. of the 3,000 people surveyed, 60% liked playing golf. how be many people said they like playing golf

Answer 1

Answer: 1,800 people said they like playing golf

Explanation:

First, we will turn 60% into a decimal. A percent divided by 100 becomes a decimal.

60% / 100 = 0.6

Next, "of" means multiplication in terms of mathematics. We will multiply 3,000 by 0.6.

3,000 * 0.6 = 1,800 people
