Question

in a study, 350 women tried a new diet. if 95% of the women lost at least five pounds the first week of the study, how many women in this group lost at least five pounds? (please include solution, thank you very much)

Answer 1

Ok, so here we do a quick operation: 350*95, which gives us 33250 then 33250/100, which is equal to 332.5, if we round that number, it gives us 333! So 333 woman lost at least 5 pounds! Hope this helped! Brainliest is always appreciated.

Answer 2

Convert 95% into a decimal:

$95 \div 100 = 0.95$

Multiply the amount of women in the study by this decimal:

$350 \times 0.95 = 332.5$

To round to the nearest person, look at the tenths value:

332.5
5 = 5
332.5 ≈ 333

333 women lost at least 5 pounds.
