Naomi surveyed 480 of the students in her school about their favorite color. 95% said their favorite color was red. How many students' favorite color was red?

Respuesta :

Answer:

456 students

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find 95% of the 480 students, you can set up the equation below:

[tex]\frac{students}{total} = \frac{percent}{100percent}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{x}{480students} =\frac{95percent}{100 percent}[/tex]

x * 100 = 480 * 95

x = 45600 / 100 = 456

95% of 480 students is 456 students.
