Question

Fwam surveyed 540 of the students in his school about their favorite color. students could choose between red and blue. 55% said their favorite color was blue. how many students' favorite color was red?

Answer 1

Answer:

243 students' favorite color is red

Step-by-step explanation:

if 55% of the students said their favorite color was blue, then 45% chose that red was their favorite color

we can get 45% of 540 using a cross-multiplication equation

45% is 45/100

45/100 is to ?/540

the (?) represents the value of students who chose red as their favorite color (we do not know this but we can figure it out using cross-multiplication)

45 times 540 is 24300

24300/100 = 243.
