Question: 391
2. 
If 20,000 people selected bulldogs as their favorite breed of dog, approximately how many more suburban people than rural people chose that breed?
- A. 2,000
- B. 4,000
- C. 6,500
- D. 13,000
Correct Answer: A
Explanation:
A
First, determine what percentage of suburban people selected bulldogs, about 15% (20% – 5%). You can see that 5% of urban people selected bulldogs. You can multiply these percents by the total (20,000) and subtract the values, or subtract the percents and multiply the difference by the total. Either way, the result is 2,000.
