Algebra Difficulty 1.1 Junior Find the answer Canada

The circle graph shows the results of asking 200 students to choose pizza, Thai food, or Greek food.

How many students chose Greek food?

Your answer

A number or a short expression. Fractions can be typed as 3/2, and spacing doesn't matter.

Solution

Of the 200 students, 50% (or one-half) of the students chose Greek food.

Since one-half of 200 is 100, then 100 students chose Greek food.
