Question

The public library surveyed 220 people about their favorite type of movie. If 25% of the people chose documentaries, how many people chose documentaries?

Answer 1

55 people.

Explanation:

Multiply 220 by the percentage in decimal form. To make any percentage to a decimal, simply move the decimal 2 spaces to the left. Now instead of 25, you have 0.25. Multiply this by 220 to get 55. Hope the Helps!
