Question

PLZ HELP!

in a survey, 25 out of 200 students are planning to vote for Susie for class president. If there are 1,000 students voting, how many votes would Susie expect?

Answer 1

125 votes

Explanation:

Set up a proportion.

`(25)/(200) =(x)/(1000)`

Cross-multiply. Solve for x.

`25,000=200x\\25,000/200 = 200x/200\\125=x`

Susie can expect 125 votes.
