In a market survey, 20% opted for product A, whereas 60% opted for product B. The remaining individuals were uncertain. If the difference between those who opted for product B and those who were uncertain is 720, how many individuals were covered in the survey?

A
1600
B
1700
C
1800
D
None of these
Explanation and memory cue

The question states that 20% opted for product A, 60% opted for product B, and the remaining individuals were uncertain. Since the total percentage must be 100%, the uncertain group is 100% - 20% - 60% = 20%. The difference between those who opted for product B and those who were uncertain is given as 720 individuals. This difference corresponds to 60% - 20% = 40% of the total individuals. Therefore, 40% of the total individuals equals 720, so the total number of individuals surveyed is 720 / 0.4 = 1800. Among the options given, 1800 corresponds to option C. Hence, the correct answer is C.
