Question

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 said they text 50-100 times a day, we can use the percentage given in the table for that range.

From the table, we see that 75 percent of the surveyed students fall within the 50-100 text messages per day category.

The total number of students surveyed is 4,000.

To calculate the number of students who text 50-100 times a day:

\[
\text{Number of students} = \text{Total students} \times \text{Percentage} = 4000 \times 0.75
\]

Calculating that:

\[
4000 \times 0.75 = 3000
\]

Thus, **3,000 students** said they text 50-100 times a day.
