Question 838262: I have a math problem with a circle graph that I cannot get the correct answer every time I try. the graph is Pets owned by sixth graders 5% own birds; 5%own reptiles; 10% fish; 35%cats; 45% dogs. the question is if 30 sixth graders own birds, how many sixth graders were surveyed? Can you please help me. Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! If you add up the percentages, percent
That means the entire 6th grade is
accounted for
-----------------
The 6th graders who own birds are 5%
of the whole class
------------------
Let = the number of 6th graders
600 were surveyed
