Answer: 1,600 people
Step-by-step explanation:
The survey showed that 40 out of 75 people would vote for Mr. Best.
Convert this figure to a percentage so that you can use it to find out the number of people that would vote for him if numbers were larger:
= 40 / 75
= 53.33%
If 3,000 people voted, 53.33% would vote for Mr. Best which is:
= 3,000 * 53.33%
= 1,599.9
= 1,600 people
