Full solution

Q. A poll asks movie critics to name their favorite movie genre. The results are shown in this circle graph. Thriller is the favorite genre of 1818 of the critics polled. How many of the critics polled prefer the comedy genre? Enter your answer in the box. critics
  1. Find Comedy Percentage: Look at the circle graph to find the percentage for the comedy genre.
  2. Calculate Total Critics: Calculate the total number of critics by using the number of critics who prefer thrillers. If thriller represents 1818 critics, and assuming thriller is a certain percentage of the whole, we need the percentage to find the total.
  3. Find Comedy Critics: Once we have the total number of critics, we can find out how many prefer comedy by applying the comedy percentage to the total number.
  4. Insufficient Information: Oops, we don't actually have the percentage for thriller or comedy, so we can't solve the problem without more information.
