The answer would have to be 12
Explanation
Let's first graph the elements:
Using the distance formula we get:
12/60 students chose science fiction
Approximately x/150 students prefer sf
60x = 1800
x = 30
30/150 students are assumed to prefer sf
30/150 = x/100
150x = 3000
x = 20
20/100 students are likely to prefer sf
Mr. Rodriguez made a reasonable estimate for the approximate percentage of students that prefer science fiction, because if 12/60 is equivalent to 30/150 which refers to the number of students who can be assumed to prefer science Fiction out of the whole school. Considering we need to identify what 30/150 as a percentage is, we can reduce it down to 1/5 to make I easier, then divide 1 by 5 to get .2
.2 as a percentage is 20%, so his inference was indeed reasonable.
