A certain allergen affects approximately 7 people per 10,000 in the United States. Assuming the U.S. population is approximately 325 million people, how many people suffer from this allergen?

Respuesta :

Answer:2275000

Step-by-step explanation:

If out of 1000, 7 people are being affected. It means that (7/1000)*100= 0.7% of the population is being affected

Since USA poppulation is 325million, the affected people are 0.7% of 325 million

325000000*(0.7/100)= 2275000

Answer:

227 500

Step-by-step explanation:

let x represent the numbear of people suffering from this allergen in U.S

7—————>10,000

x—————>325,000,000
