In a survey, 16% of the people said they live in a city. if 320 people said they live in a city, how many people were surveyed? show your work. ( question 12 )

choice B) 2,000 people

Let x be the number of people surveyed. This is simply a placeholder for the number.

16% of x is going to be equal to 320, so we know that 0.16*x = 320. Recall that 16% converts to the decimal form 0.16 after moving the decimal point two spots to the left.

Divide both sides by 0.16 to isolate x fully

0.16*x = 320

0.16*x/0.16 = 320/0.16

x = 2000

Therefore, 2000 people were surveyed
