Question

Of 65 people polled, 20% said that, given the choice among the 3 colors red,blue an d green they preferred the color blue.

1) The number of poeple who said they preferred the blue color?
2) One-half the number of people who said they preferred the color green?

Answer 1

First figure out what 20% of 65 is.
0.20 x 65 = 13

So the answer to (1) is 13.

(2) One half of 65 is 32.5 but since you can't have 1/2 a person, the answer is 33

Answer 2

I like blue too. Stop answering the person's homework!
