If 88 people surveyed made between $15,000 and $24,999 what was the total number of individuals surveyed?
A) 20
B) 156
C) 300
D) 400
E) 425
Jacksonville to Atlanta: 4 routes
Atlanta to Knoxville: 3 routes
Knoxville to Indianapolis: 2 routes
Sammy is traveling from Jacksonville to Atlanta to Knoxville to Indianapolis. He can choose from several different routes. How many different routes can Sammy take on his trip?
A) 9
B) 11
C) 12
D) 14
E) 24
First one :
88 is 22% of the total individuals surveyed, (T) ....so.....
88 = .22 T divide both sides by .22
88/ .22 = T = 400
Second one.....multiply 4 x 3 x 2
1. The solution is 400. Since 22% of the people surveyed fall into this category, we can use the equation .22x = 88 to solve the problem.
2. The solution is 24 routes. To determine the number of different routes we multiply the routes for each part of the trip. 4(3)(2) = 24 routes.
