Question

37. The students at Norton School were asked to name their favorite type of
pet. Of the 430 students surveyed, 258 said that their favorite type of per
was a dog. Suppose that only 100 students were surveyed, with similar results, about how many students would say that a dog is their favorite
type of pet?​

Answer 1

Answer: 60 students

Step-by-step explanation:

So, in the first situation 430 students were surveyed and 258 said that their favourite pet was a dog. The second situation is 100 students and x said that their favourite pet was a dog. We are solving x.

430=258

100= x

Cross multiply

So that is

430 x X= 100x258

430x=25800

Divide both sides by 430

Answer: 60 students

Answer 2

The number of students that should have a favorite type of pet is 60 students.

Calculation of the number of students:

Of the 430 students surveyed, 258 said that their favorite type of per was a dog. And, there are only 100 students were surveyed

So here we assume the favorite pet should be x

So,

430 (X)= 100(258)

430x=25800

x = 60
