Question

If there were 2,000 total people

surveyed, how many people said
romance films were their favorite?

Answer 1

Given:

Total number of people surveyed = 2000

To find:

how many people said romance films were their favorite

Solution:

Percentage of people like romance films = 30%

People like romance films:

`$=\frac{\text{Percentage of people like romance films}}{100} * \text{Total number of people surveyed}`

`$=(30)/(100) * 2000`

`=600`

Therefore 600 people said romance films were their favorite.
