    10 more students chose purple than red as their favorite color

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Step 1

    Determine the proportion of students that chose each color

    purple=26%

    red=22%

    Step 2

    Use the expression for the number of students per color as follows;

    Number of students per color=proportion per color*total number of students

    for purple;

    proportion that chose purple=26%

    total number of students=250

    replacing;

    Number of students that chose purple = (26/100) * 250=65 students

    for red;

    proportion that chose red=22%

    total number of students=250

    replacing;

    Number of students that chose purple = (22/100) * 250=55 students

    Step 3

    Difference=65-55=10

    10 more students chose purple than red as their favorite color
