in a survey of 200 cat owners, 59% said they fed their pet only pet food.how many people is this?

Answer 1

200 x 59%
200 x 0.59=118

118 people feed their pet only pet food.

Answer 2

When dealing with %, you want to write then in decimal form. When dealing with these problem you mulitply
(200)*.59=118


You can also think of it like this:

First, understand that they want to know how many cat owners out of 100 feed their pet only cat food. So,
x/100
Now, remember that 59% can be written as 59/100.
Lets put it together.
X/200=59/100
(100)X=59*200
100X=11800
X=118

Answer 3

200 x .59 = 118

Answer 4

Fo what you have to do if find the %

So one way is to multiply 200 times the percent
So turn the percent to a decimal, and get .59x200= 118 people

Or, you can try it proportionally. So use the equation is over of % over 100. So make a proportion with the equation
x/200 59/100 Then cross multiply and get 100x=11800
Then divide by 100 on both sides
and still get your answer of 118.

Answer 5

That would be 59 for every 100 or 118 for 200.

Answer 6

You divide 200 by 100, because percentages are based on 100. 200/100 is 2; multiply this by 59. The answer is 118.
