PLS HELP NOW!

A candidate took a phone poll of 110 people. Of the 110 people polled, 67 said they would vote for the candidate. There are 9570 people in the district expected to vote. Based on this poll, what is the projected number of votes the candidate will receive?
Enter only the number of votes.

Answer 1

The candidate should get 5829 votes.

Explanation:

This is a proportion question. The ratio should hold for both the pole and the actual vote.

Equation

x /9570 = 67/110 Multiply both sides by 9570

x = 67 * 9570 / 110 Multiply the two numerators.

x = 641190 / 110 Divide by 110

x = 5829
