Question

NEED URGENT HELP: A random sample is taken of people who have bought tickets for a concert. In the sample, 21 out of 150 people say they will contribute $5.00 each towards a music scholarship for a local high school students. If 3,500 people bought concert tickets, predict how much will be raised for the scholarship.

Answer 1

$2,450

Explanation:

21:150 is the ratio of people who will donate $5.

21:150 / 3 = 7:50

7:50 x 2 = 14:100

14:100 = 21:50

14:100 x 35 = 490:3500

490 out of 3500 people will contribute $5.

490 x 5 = $2,450
