The first part of the proportion would be the known values of 32 people to 128 ounces.

The second part of the proportion is X ( the number of people) for 704 ounces.


This is written as 32/128 = X/704


To solve for X Cross multiply:

32 * 704 = 128x

Simplify:

22528 = 128x

Solve for X by dividing both sides by 128:

x = 22528 / 128

x = 176 people

There are 380 students surveyed. Also, 57 of the students stated that their favourite colour was red. Hence, we can construct a fraction here, and it would be 57/380. Now, we divide the fraction - like 57 divided by 380 to get a decimal to convert to a percent. As a result, we get 0.15, then we multiply 0.15 by 100 to get 15% as our final answer.
