The students of a certain college were asked to choose which of six movie genres was their favorite. The pie chart below shows the distribution of the students’ answers. If there are 18,500 students at the college, how many chose Drama , Other, or Comedy ?

12950

Step-by-step explanation:

comedy : 20% => 20 × 18500 ÷ 100 = 3700

drama : 23% => 23 × 18500 ÷ 100 = 4255

other : 27% => 27 × 18500 ÷ 100 = 4995

all together: (20 + 23 + 27) × 18500 ÷ 100 = 3700+4255+4995 = 12950

look at the picture.

y-intercept for the function on a picture is 4 → point (0, 4).

y-intercept for the function

is for x = 0. substitute:

y-intercept is 8 → point (0, 8).
