A survey is taken by three teams with 40 people, for their favorite snacks.


Find the number of people who prefer pizza by team B, if there are a total of 500 people.

• A. 100
• B. 150
• C. 200
• D. 250

Answer 1

The correct option is D 250

The given table of data is,


Total number of people = 500

Proportion of people who prefer pizza as per survey of Team B = $\frac{20}{40}$

Number of people who prefer pizza as per the survey conducted by team B = $\frac{20}{40}$$\times$ 500 = 250

Hence, the number of people who prefer pizza = 250
