Question

In a recent survey, 60% of those surveyed indicated that they preferred walking to running. If 540 people

preferred walking, how many people were surveyed?

Answer 1

900 people were surveyed

Explanation:

I divided 54 by 6 and got 9. I then multiplied 9 by 100 and got 900.

Divide the number of people that walk by the percentage:

540/ 0.60 = 900

900 people were surveyed.
