In a survey of 1056 voters at Roberts School, 274 said they voted for Candidate A. How many votes can Candidate A expect to receive if there were 5,101 votes?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Candidate A can expect approximately 1324 votes

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this problem using rule of three.

If in a total of 1056 voters, the Candidate A received 274 votes, how many votes we expect Candidate A to get, maintaining the same proportion, if the total number of votes is 5101:

1056 total votes -> 274 votes for Candidate A

5101 total votes -> X votes for Candidate A

1056/5101 = 274/X

X = 5101 * 274 / 1056 = 1323.6

So Candidate A can expect approximately 1324 votes
