There were 75 people surveyed

Step-by-step explanation:

People leaving an ice cream store were asked to name their favorite flavor of ice cream

  • Fifty-one people said chocolate was their favorite flavor
  • 68% of the people surveyed said chocolate

We need to find how many people were surveyed

Assume that x people were surveyed

∵ 51 people said chocolate was their favorite flavor

∵ 68% of the people surveyed said chocolate

∵ x people were surveyed

- That means 68% of x is equivalent to 51

∴ 68% × x = 51

∵ 68% = 68 ÷ 100 = 0.68

∴ 0.68 x = 51

- Divide both sides by 0.68

∴ x = 75

There were 75 people surveyed
