Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In a national survey, 70% of respondents support a new policy. If 1,200 people were surveyed, how many support the policy?
  • Step 1: Understand that 70% means 70 out of every 100 people support the policy.
  • Step 2: Convert the percentage to a decimal by dividing 70 by 100, which gives you 0.70.
  • Step 3: Multiply the total number of people surveyed (1,200) by the decimal (0.70).
  • Step 4: Calculate 0.70 * 1,200 to find the number of supporters.
  • Step 5: The result of the multiplication is 840, which means 840 people support the policy.
