Question

A cable television provider offers six
different news stations. If 25% of the
stations offered are news, how many
stations are offered by the provider?

Answer 1

Answer:

24 stations

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

six stations represent 25% of the stations offered

so

using a proportion

Find out how many stations represent a percentage of 100%

$\frac{6}{25\%}=\frac{x}{100\%}\\\\x=6(100)/25\\\\x=24\ stations$
