in a survey of teens, 21% said their friends like to read and talk about books. About how many teens out of 1,095 would say their friends read and talk about books?
Answer:
About 230 teens would say that their friends read and talk about books.
Step-by-step explanation:
From the survey, 21% of teens like to read and talk about books.
21% = \(\frac{21}{100}\)
Thus, from 1095 teens, 21% of them would say their friends read and talk about books.
21% of 1095 = \(\frac{21}{100}\) × 1095
= \(\frac{22995}{100}\)
= 229.95
Therefore, about 230 teens from 1095 would say that their friends read and talk about books.
