A recent survey of college students on a big campus was conducted to find students'
preferred method of getting to class. The results showed that 35% of students walk to class,
20% take the bus, 25% ride a bike, and 15% drive; the remaining students rollerblade to class.
If each student preferred only 1 method of getting to class and 75 students preferred
rollerblading, how many students were surveyed?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
35% + 20% + 25% + 15% = 95%.
So, 75 students, who prefer rollerblading, comprise 5%.
Therefore,  =  = 1500 sudents were surveyed. ANSWER
