Answer: 888,300

Explanation:

$p*\text{ Total Chicago residents}\\\\=0.329*2700000=888300$

Hence, 888,300 Chicago residents identified themselves as Black or African American in the 2010 census.

Answer:

888300 people.

Step by step explanation:

We have been given that 32.9% of the 2,700,000 Chicago residents identified themselves as Black or African American in the 2010 census.

Let us find 32.9% of 2,700,000.

$\text{Number of African American in the 2010 census}=(32.9)/(100)* 2700000$

$\text{Number of African American in the 2010 census}=32.9* 27000$

$\text{Number of African American in the 2010 census}=888300$

Therefore, 888300 people in the 2010 census are African American.
