Answer 2

Answer:  280

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A random survey of the quality of city park is taken.

65% of the people surveyed were pleased with the condition of the parks.

here, 65%  can be written as 0.65.

Let x be the total number of people surveyed.

If 182 people were pleased, then we have

$0.65x=182\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{182}{0.65}=280$

hence, the number of people were surveyed = 280
