In a recent survey of 974 voters, 724 indicated that they were in favor of a new city park, while the other 250 voters said that
they were opposed. Using this survey as a basis, if 40,000 citizens vote next week, how many are likely to be opposed to the new park? Round to the nearest whole number.
A) 11.345
B) 9,457
C) 9,927
D) 10,267
250/974 = x/40,000...250 opposed to 974 total = x opposed to 40,000 total cross multiply because this is a proportion 974x = 10,000,000 x = 10,000,000/974 x = 10266.94 rounds to 10,267 <==
