Answer 1

The number of people who were in favour of the new hotel was 308

A percentage is a certain number or part of every hundred. It is a fraction with the denominator 100, and the symbol for it is "%." A percentage is a ratio or fraction where the full value is always 100. Sam, for instance, would have received 30 out of a possible 100 points if he had received 30% on his arithmetic test. In ratio form, it is written as 30:100 and in fraction form as 30/100.

Number of people who took the poll = 700

Percentage of people who were in favour of the poll = 44%

Number of people who were in favour of the poll = 44% of 700

= 0.44*700

= 308
