A recent survey was given to determine students favorite school subjects. 6 students chose Math, 3 students chose Science, 4 students chose English and 7 students chose History. Predict the number of students out of 400 that would pick math as their favorite subject



Answer :

Out of 400 students, 120 students would pick math as their favorite subject.

Data provided to us

fav subject       students

 Math                  6

 Science             3

 English              4

 History              7

Hence the total becomes 20 students

we have to calculate students whose favorite subject is math from 400 students

students with math as fav subject out of 20 students = 6

students with math as fav subject out of 400 students = (6 / 20) x 400

                                                                                          = 120 students

we can verify it as

%age of students out of 20 , who like math = 6/20 x 100

                                                                                   = 30 %

similarly, %age of students out of 400, who like math= 120/400 x 100

                                                                                        = 30 %

As we can see both the percentages are same. and the answer is verified .

So 120 students would pick math as their favorite subject out of 400 students.
