Math Problem Statement
In a certain survey of 1 comma 045 adults, 84% reported having more than one television at home. Find the actual number of respondents corresponding to the given percentage. Question content area bottom Part 1 The number of adults who reported having more than one television at home is enter your response here. (Round to the nearest integer as needed.)
Solution
To find the actual number of respondents who reported having more than one television at home, we can use the given percentage and the total number of adults surveyed.
The formula is:
Given:
- Total number of adults = 1,045
- Percentage = 84%
Now, calculate the number of respondents:
Rounding to the nearest integer:
So, 878 adults reported having more than one television at home.
