Question

In a survey, 32% of the people say they love dark chocolate. if 40 people say they love dark chocolate, how many people were surveyed?

Answer 1

Let x be the number of people were surveyed;
We solve the equation (32/100)x = 40;
Then, (32x)/100 = 4000/100;
32x = 4000;
x = 4000/32;
x = 125;
