A survey is conducted in a certain neighborhood to find out where find out residence favorite vacation spot 2/5 of the respondents or 80 residence said they like sitting spending their vacation at the beach which equation represents the number of residence are surveyed how many residents were surveyed

Answer 1

Let's represent the number of residents surveyed as x.

According to the information given, 2/5 of the respondents or 80 residents said they like spending their vacation at the beach.

This can be written as (2/5)x = 80.

To find out the total number of residents surveyed (x), we need to isolate x.

Multiplying both sides of the equation by (5/2) will give us:

x = 80 * (5/2)

Simplifying this expression, we find x = 200.

Therefore, 200 residents were surveyed in the neighborhood.
