Problem Analysis:
The image provides a table showing the favorite beverages of a group of people, represented using cup icons. Each cup icon represents
3 people. The task is to determine the number of people who prefer each beverage and then solve any related questions or problems based on this data.
Step-by-Step Solution:
#### 1.
Understanding the Key Information:
- Each cup icon represents
3 people.
- We need to count the number of cup icons for each beverage and then multiply by 3 to find the total number of people for that beverage.
#### 2.
Counting Cup Icons for Each Beverage:
-
Tea: There are
7 cup icons.
-
Coffee: There are
6 cup icons.
-
Green tea: There is
1 cup icon.
-
Iced tea: There are
2 cup icons.
-
Cold coffee: There are
4 cup icons.
#### 3.
Calculating the Number of People for Each Beverage:
-
Tea: \( 7 \text{ cups} \times 3 \text{ people per cup} = 21 \text{ people} \)
-
Coffee: \( 6 \text{ cups} \times 3 \text{ people per cup} = 18 \text{ people} \)
-
Green tea: \( 1 \text{ cup} \times 3 \text{ people per cup} = 3 \text{ people} \)
-
Iced tea: \( 2 \text{ cups} \times 3 \text{ people per cup} = 6 \text{ people} \)
-
Cold coffee: \( 4 \text{ cups} \times 3 \text{ people per cup} = 12 \text{ people} \)
#### 4.
Summarizing the Results:
- Tea: 21 people
- Coffee: 18 people
- Green tea: 3 people
- Iced tea: 6 people
- Cold coffee: 12 people
#### 5.
Total Number of People:
To find the total number of people surveyed, we sum the number of people for all beverages:
\[
21 + 18 + 3 + 6 + 12 = 60
\]
Final Answer:
\[
\boxed{60}
\]
Explanation:
The problem involves simple multiplication and addition. By counting the cup icons for each beverage and multiplying by 3 (since each cup represents 3 people), we can determine the number of people who prefer each beverage. Summing these values gives the total number of people surveyed, which is
60.
