Answer 2

About 230 teens would say that their friends read and talk about books.

Explanation:

From the survey, 21% of teens like to read and talk about books.

21% =
`(21)/(100)`

Thus, from 1095 teens, 21% of them would say their friends read and talk about books.

21% of 1095 =
`(21)/(100)` × 1095

=
`(22995)/(100)`

= 229.95

Therefore, about 230 teens from 1095 would say that their friends read and talk about books.
