Answer:

  • C. 80

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of people were surveyed is x.

We have 60% of x is 48 people.

Set this as equation and solve:

  • 60% of x = 48
  • x*60/100 = 48
  • 0.6x = 48
  • x = 48/0.6
  • x = 80

Correct choice is C.

Answer:

C.  80

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

  • 60% = 48 people

Let x be the total number of people surveyed.

Set up a ratio of people to percentage and solve for x:

[tex]\implies \sf 48 : 60 = x : 100[/tex]

[tex]\implies \sf \dfrac{48}{60}=\dfrac{x}{100}[/tex]

[tex]\implies \sf x=100 \cdot \dfrac{48}{60}[/tex]

[tex]\implies \sf x=\dfrac{4800}{60}[/tex]

[tex]\implies \sf x=\dfrac{480}{6}[/tex]

[tex]\implies \sf x=80[/tex]

Therefore, the total number of people who were surveyed was 80.
