Answer 1

20

Explanation:

Currently:

• science: 20
• pop culture: 26
• sports: 7
• politics: 12

Add those up: 65

There are 65 total blogs right now.

26 of those are about pop culture. We need to find what percentage that is:

26/65 = 0.4 40% of the blogs are about pop culture

So when new blogs are created, there's about a 40% chance they'll be about pop culture.

So of "the next 50 blogs," we could expect about 40% of them to be about pop culture:

0.4 x 50 = 20 blogs about pop culture
