if 25% of cheerleaders are surveyed and 170 of them say their favorite color red, what is most reasonable prediction of the number of cheerleaders who would pick red as their favorite red?

680

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem, we do not need to know how much cheerleaders were surveyed. All we need to know is that they surveyed 25% and 170 said red was there favorite color.

100% would be the full amount.

25% is 1/4 of 100%.

170 is 1/4 of x.

so we would do 170*4 to get to 100% and get x which would be 680.

So x=680.

In other words, 170 is just a part of the whole, it is 1/4 of the whole. If we had 4/4, that would be 1/4*4. So we can just do 1/4 which is 170*4.

I hope this helped.
