Wouldn't (D) be the right answer?? I divided 23% by 5,260, but I'm not 100% sure it's correct.

It would be c. Ian would predict that 23% of the 5,260 would list a sport. Usually when you phrase things like x OF y you multiply. So 23%(or .23) x 5,260 = 1209.8 and we can round to a whole person, giving us 1,210 people
