Answer 2

Answer:

About 549

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to set it up as a proportion, setting the percent and the number of movies equal.

$\frac{59}{100} = \frac{x}{930}$

X - Number of R-Rated movies.

Now, cross multiply, multiplying the numerator of the left and the denominator to the right, and vice versa.

$100x = 54,870$

Now, solve the inequality.

$x = 548.7$

Now, round up.

$x = 549$
