Answer:
440 students.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given is a table showing the results of a survey.
No of people surveyed = n (say)
No of people who prefer pop music = (5/8) n
(Since given in the table proportion for pop music = 5/8)
But actual studdents who prefer pop music =275
In other words
5n/8 = 275
Cross multiply to solve
5n=2200
divide by 5
n= 440
Thus total people surveyed= 440
Verify:
No of students who prefer Pop music = 440(5/8) = 55(5) = 275
Thus verified
