Answer:
252 people
Step-by-step explanation:
There are two ways of solving.
you can use a proportion or an equation.
is=% as a decimal×of
or the proportion
[tex] \frac{is}{of} = \frac{\%}{100} [/tex]
step 1- Identity which is which.
28 is the percent and 900 is the of. we need to find the is.
step 2-
if you use an equation:
is=0.28x900
is=252
252 people ordered fish
you can also use a proportion
[tex] \frac{is}{of} = \frac{\%}{100} [/tex]
[tex] \frac{x}{900} = \frac{28}{100} [/tex]
x is a variable in place of is.
then, we cross cancel.
[tex]900 \times 28 = 100x[/tex]
25200=100x
x=252
