B.
240
C.
260
D.
300
E.
760

Respuesta :

240 people didn't like any of the music type.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: Given total people who took the survey = 1000. Find the number of people who liked each type of music.

Number of people who liked pop = 30% of 1000 = 30/100 × 1000 = 300

Number of people who liked rock = 26% of 1000 = 26/100 × 1000 = 260

Number of people who liked pop = 20% of 1000 = 20/100 × 1000 = 200

  • Step 2: Find the total number of people who didn't like any of the music type.

Number of people who didn't like any of the music type = 1000 - (300 + 260 + 200)

      = 1000 - 760

      = 240

Answer: answer is B, 240

Step-by-step explanation:

30% + 26% + 20% + x = 100%

76% + x = 100%

x = 100% - 76%

x = 24%

Therefore, 24% of 1000 does not like any of the top three music

= 24/ 100 x 1000

= 0.24 × 1000

= 240
