Answer:

15,000 people

Explanation:

This is the question of ratio, it is the quantitative relationship of two number.

In this survey a ratio of 66 people out of 110 is defined as living in apartment, based on this ratio we can estimate the total numbers of people living in apartments.

Total population of the town = 25,000 people

Ratio of people living in apartment = 66 / 110 = 0.6

Town people living in apartment = 25,000 x 0.6 = 15,000 peoples
