Question 1189521: In a poll of 500 registered voters, 337 voters favored a proposal to increase funding for local schools. Suppose the poll is indicative of how the 22,000 registered voters will vote on the proposal. Which of the following values is closest to how many of the 22,000 registered voters will be expected to vote in favor of the proposal?
A. 13,200 B. 14,830 C. 21,840 D. 22,000 E. 32,640
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 337/500=x/22000, can cross-multiply so that 500x=337*22000
or, since 22000 is 44 times greater than 500, 44 *337=14,820
