Jackson would like to determine which elective is the favorite among

his peers. He surveys every 20th person to walk through the front door of
school and finds that 27 out of 40 students like P.E. the best. If there are
800 students at the school, how many would you expect to say P.E.?

The answer is 540 students.

Explanation: you take the 27 by 40 and turn that into a percentage than you multiply that percentage times 800 in this case (0.675 X 800= 540)

Hope this helped!!
