a survey of shoppers at a grocery store found at 40% at the shoppers buy food for a week or more. If 50 shoppers were surveyed how many shoppers were buying food a week or more

Answer 1

To find out how many shoppers out of 50 buy food for a week or more, you can use the percentage provided in the survey.

Given that 40% of the shoppers buy food for a week or more:

\[ \text{Number of shoppers buying food for a week or more} = \text{Total shoppers} \times \text{Percentage} \] \[ \text{Number of shoppers} = 50 \times 0.40 \] \[ \text{Number of shoppers} = 20 \]

So, out of the 50 shoppers surveyed, 20 shoppers are buying food for a week or more.
