1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
Title of pie chart: New Construction in Daisy Hill Subdivision
Given a pie chart with sections:
Currently Completed: 26%
Currently Under Construction: 42%
Approved, but Not Yet Started: 32%
Question:
When construction is completed in Daisy Hill Subdivision there'll be a total of 50 homes.
Approximately, how many houses have not yet been completed?
3. The attempt at a solution
Originally, I thought that because construction completed in the subdivision meant completely done with labor.
Then, I thought about setting
50 homes -- 26%
x -- 42%
But, apparently that's not the way.
Then, I thought 50 is 100% of construction completed.
Then that 26% * x = 50, and I tried to solve for x to find total amount of houses.
x=192.30.
From 192.30 I tried to get the 42% = 80.76, but that didn't work.
I think that the question is poorly phrased. Anyone agree?
Apparently, the solution is :
74%50 = 37
