Question

Lake Snider High School surveyed its student population about if they prefer pizza or sushi. The students who prefer pizza represent twenty-seven fewer students than five times the number of students who prefer sushi. If 1,528 students prefer pizza, how many students prefer sushi?

Answer 1

Answer:

311 students prefer sushi

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x------> the number of students who prefer pizza

y -----> the number of students who prefer sushi

we know that

$x=5y-27$ -----> equation A

$x=1,528$ -----> equation B

Substitute the equation B in equation A and solve for y

$1,528=5y-27\\ 5y=1,528+27\\ 5y=1,555\\ y=311\ students$

Answer 2

Answer: That would be 311 students
