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.
