Answer:

311 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s represent the number who prefer sushi

Let p represent the number who prefer pizza

Five times the number who prefer sushi = 5s

27 fewer than (5s) = 5s - 27

P = 5s - 27

1,528 = 5s - 27

1,555 = 5s (add 27 to both sides)

311 = s (divide both sides by 5)

311 students prefer sushi to pizza.

Given that Lake Snider High School surveyed its student population about if they prefer pizza or sushi, and the students who prefer pizza represent twenty-seven fewer students than five times the number of students who prefer sushi, if 1,528 students prefer pizza, to determine how many students prefer sushi the following calculation must be performed:

  • Sushi = (27 + 1528) / 5
  • Sushi = 1555/5
  • Sushi = 311

Therefore, 311 students prefer sushi to pizza.
