40 percent of students survey said that they are night owls . If 300 students said that they are night owls how many students were surveyed ?

Based on the calculations that 300 is 40%, 375 is considered 50% or halfway.. in this case, we must multiply 375 by 2 and we will discover how many students were surveyed:

375 x 2 = 750

you didn't post any answer choices, so its not 100% clear what your teacher is looking for

however, log(15/7) is equivalent to log(15) - log(7)

i'm using the rule log(x/y) = log(x) - log(y)
