The circle graph shows the results of a survey about students’ favorite fruit. If 300 students were surveyed, how many students chose bananas as their favorite type of fruit?
26% of the 300 preferred bananas....so......26% of 300 = .26 * 300 = 78 preferred bananas
According to this graph 26 out of each 100 people liked bannanas.
times this by 3 to get your answer:
26*3=78
78 people liked bannanas
going one step further (because i'm bored)
44*3=132 people like apples
20*3=60 people like peaches
10*3=30 people like other
78+132+60+30 = 300 people so that checks out.
