PLS HELP: I am unsure how to calculate this into final numbers.

Cal Amity found that 24% of his sample answered "yes" to the third survey question, which was, "Have you done anything, or will you do anything, to prepare any other part of your home before Gourmando's visit?" (880 Surveyed)

Mr. Amity can infer that, most likely, between _[blank A]_ and _[blank B]_ inhabitants of the Kingdom have done, or will do something, to prepare another part of their homes before Gourmando's visit.

Answer:

Let the number of people answered "yes" be x


24\% \: of \: 880 \\ (24)/(100) * 880 = 211.2 = 211(approx)

211 of the people answered "yes".

880 were surveyed.

24% answered yes.

Multiply number of surveyed by percentage that said yes:

880 x 0.24 = 211.2

Since the answer has a decimal, the number of people would be the whole number above and below the decimal.

The answer is between 211 and 212
