A pie chart labeled Favorite Sports to Watch is divided into three portions. Football represents 42 percent, baseball represents 33 percent, and soccer represents 25 percent. If 210 people said football was their favorite sport to watch, how many people were surveyed?

Answer: 500 people

Step-by-step explanation:

Let there are x people in the survey.

According to the question,

People who like football as their favorite sports = 42 % of x = 0.42 x

People who like baseball as their favorite sports = 33 % of x = 0.33 x

People who like soccer as their favorite sports = 25 % of x = 0.25 x

But, 210 people said football was their favorite sport.

⇒ 0.42 x = 210

⇒ 42 x = 21000

⇒ x = 500

Therefore, there are 500 people in the survey.
