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.

A11.345
B9,457
C9,927
D10,267

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 <==
