Hint:
Hint:
- Percentage is a number or ratio expressed as a fraction of 100.
The correct answer is: 912
Explanation:
- We have given the data of where Do People Get Most of Their Medical Information.
- We have to find the number of surveyed who get most of their medical information from either a doctor or the Internet.
Step 1 of 1:
The total number of responses is 1200
The number of surveyed Get Their Medical Information information from the doctor will be
63% of 1200
So,
=756
Step 2 of 2:
Now the number of surveyed Get Their Medical Information information from the Internet will be
13% of 1200
So,
=156
So, The Total number of surveyed get most of their medical information from either a doctor or the Internet will be
= 912
So, Option (C) is correct.
In sets of numbers called fractions, the top number (numerator) represents a portion related to the entire unit, and (the denominator) by the bottom number.
A ratio is similar to a fraction, where two numbers are compared. Although ratios can be written in fractional form, they are typically expressed as numbers separated by the colon symbol.
The ratio conversion into a fraction in mathematics is known as the ratio to a fraction. The ratio conveys the relative size of two or more values. The fraction similarly identifies the components of the whole. A: B or a/B are two ways to represent the ratio.
