Kitty [74]

Answer: 240 people get the news from social media

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the number of people who get their news from social media to the number of people who their news elsewhere is 3:7

Total ratio is the sum of the proportion of those that get their news from social media and those that got their news elsewhere.

It becomes 3+7 = 10

Total number of people in the town is 800

To determine the number of people that got their news from social media, we will divide the proportion of those that get their news from social media by the total ratio and multiply by the total number of people in the town. It becomes

3/10 × 800 = 240
