Given: A polling company reported that 53% of 1018 surveyed adults said that rising gas prices are "quite annoying."

To find: The exact value of 53% of 1018.

$53\%\text{ of }1018 = \dfrac{53}{100}\times1018$ [we divide a percentage by 100 to convert it into a fraction of decimal]

$=\dfrac{53954}{100}=539.54\\\\\approx540$

Hence, the 540 adults said that rising gas prices are "quite annoying."

Thus, the exact value = 540
