A survey of 73 people reported that 32 of them preferred juice to milk.

Based on the report, about how many of 500 people will prefer juice to milk?
A 100 people

B 200 people

C 300 people

D 400 people.

Answer 1

We will solve this by using ratios. like this:

32 preferred juice to milk of 73

x preferred juice to milk of 500

___________________________

x = (32*500)/73

x = 16000/73

x = 219,178 so that's about 200 people

The correct answer is B. 200 people
