A 2-column table with 4 rows titled How many text messages do you send a day question mark. Column 1 has entries 0-50, 50-100, 100-150, more than 150. Column 2 has entries 10 percent, 75 percent, 10 percent, 5 percent.
The 4,000 students at Tech High were surveyed about their use of text messaging. How many students said they text 50-100 times a day?




students

Answer 1

To find out how many students at Tech High said they text 50-100 times a day, we can use the percentage given in the table for that category.

From the table:
- The percentage of students who text 50-100 times a day is 75%.

Now, we'll calculate 75% of the total number of students surveyed (4,000).

\[
\text{Number of students} = \text{Total number of students} \times \frac{\text{Percentage}}{100}
\]
\[
\text{Number of students} = 4,000 \times \frac{75}{100}
\]
\[
\text{Number of students} = 4,000 \times 0.75
\]
\[
\text{Number of students} = 3,000
\]

Therefore, **3,000 students** at Tech High said they text 50-100 times a day.
