Question #N26
A survey asked a group of 100 people about their favorite color. 25 people said their favorite color was blue, 30 people said their favorite color was green, and the rest said their favorite color was red. What percentage of the people surveyed said their favorite color was red?
A. 35%
B. 45%
C. 55%
D. 65%
Correct Answer is: B
First find the number of people who said their favorite color was red: 100 people - 25 people - 30 people = 45 people. Then divide the number of people who said red by the total number of people surveyed, and multiply by 100% to express the result as a percentage: (45 people / 100 people) * 100% = 45%.
