Answer:
70
Step-by-step explanation:
In this problem, 27 adults conduct a survey.
In the results of the survey, it is found that 35% of the adults are concerned with poverty.
If we call:
x = number of adults surveyed
y = adults concerned with poverty
This means that we can write the following relationship:
[tex]y=0.35x[/tex] (1)
where [tex]0.35[/tex] represents the percentage of adults concerned with poverty, rewritten in decimal form ([tex]0.35=\frac{35}{100}[/tex])
Later, we are told that 200 adults are surveyed, so now we have
x = 200
So substituting into eq(1) we can find how many of these adults are concerned with poverty:
[tex]y=0.35\cdot 200 =70[/tex]
