Answer 1

There are 60 students that prefer soccer

The first step is to determine the percentage of students that prefer soccer The percentage of students that prefer soccer = 100 - (53% + 26% + 15% ) = 6%

6% of the students surveyed prefer soccer

The second step is to determine the number of students that prefer soccer

Number of students that prefer soccer = (percentage of students that prefer soccer / 100) x total number of students surveyed

$\frac{6}{100}$ × 1000 = 60 students
