27 percent of the total chose salad over meal. That 27 percent equals
81 people and the question is how many people were in total?
27 % - 81 people
100% - X?
100 x 81 / 27 = 300
100% = 300 The total amount of people participating in the survey were 300.

The total number of people in the survey is 300, as 81 people making up 27% confirms our calculations. We found this by dividing 81 by 0.27. The calculation was verified by multiplying back to check if we obtain the original number of salad choosers.
