Autumn surveyed 500 of the students in her school about their favorite color. 25 students said their favorite color was red. What percentage of the surveyed students said their favorite color was red?

Respuesta :

The answer is 5%

To solve this problem you need to set up a proportion like this

25 ?

500 100

And then solve. This will get you the percentage of 25 and 500 which is 5%
