Question

Favorite days of the week Monday 55% Tuesday 45% 4) If 220 people were surveyed, how many more people voted for Monday than for Tuesday?​

Answer 1

Answer: 22

Explanation:

Ok, so the way I do it I multiply then divide.

For Monday I did: ?/220=55/100. what you would do is multiply across then divide by the other number, so 220x55 which is 12100 then you will divide it by 100. So 121 people voted on Monday

For Tuesday: Using the same method. ?/220=45/100 you will multiply 45x220 giving you 9900 then you will divide by 100 giving you 99. 99 people voted on Tuesday.

So to find the DIFFERENCE you need to subtract, so 121-99 leaving you with 22. Also, if you are confused how on where I got 100 from you put the percentage over 100, because percentages go from 0%-100% so you put the partial percentage over the maximum (100)
