Answer: 540

Step-by-step explanation:

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]
