Respuesta :

Answer:

A. 395.

B. 55.  

Step-by-step explanation:

A. We have been given that a survey found that 79% of the students agreed that fast food should be introduced.

To find the number of students, who want fast food served at the school cafeteria, we need to find 79% of 500.

[tex]\text{Students who want fast food served at the school cafeteria}=\frac{79}{100}\times 500[/tex]

[tex]\text{Students who want fast food served at the school cafeteria}=0.79\times 500[/tex]

[tex]\text{Students who want fast food served at the school cafeteria}=395[/tex]

Therefore, 395 students of the 500 students want fast food served at the school cafeteria.

B. To find the students have no view on this matter, we will find 11% of 500 as 100%-(79%+10%)=11%.

[tex]\text{Students who have no view on this matter}=\frac{11}{100}\times 500[/tex]

[tex]\text{Students who have no view on this matter}=0.11\times 500[/tex]

[tex]\text{Students who have no view on this matter}=55[/tex]

Therefore, 55 students have no view on this matter.
