Answer 1

Answer:

I think the first questions answer is 30 people. And the second questions answer is 75

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how many students voted for Math, you must remove the votes from the 195 students that have been counted, from the total 270 who voted. So, 270 − 195 = 75 students voted for Math as their favorite subject.

For the first question I just found out what 6% of 500 is.

Answer 2

Good evening ,

Answer:

(1) The number of people that chose English as their favorite subject is 30

(2)The number of people that were surveyed is 600.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of people that chose English as their favorite subject

500×6% = 500×(6÷100) = (500×6)÷100 = 3 000÷100 = 30

The number of people that were surveyed

270×(100÷45) = (270×100)÷45 = 27 000÷45 = 600.
