A survey of shoppers at a grocery store found that 40% of shoppers were buying food for a week or more. If 50 shoppers were surveyed, how many shoppers were buying food for a week or more?

1 answer

Out of the 50 shoppers surveyed, 40% were buying food for a week or more.
Therefore, the number of shoppers buying food for a week or more is 40% of 50, which is (40/100) * 50 = <<(40/100)*50=20>>20 shoppers. Answer: \boxed{20}.
