In a random population, out of 500 people, 160 had blue eyes. In a group of 2500 people, how many would have blue eyes?

Sagot :

Answer:   800

======================================================

Work Shown:

(160 with blue eyes)/(500 total) = (x with blue eyes)/(2500 total)

160/500 = x/2500

x = 2500*(160/500)

x = 800

------------

Another approach:

160/500 = 0.32 = 32% of the first group has blue eyes

Assuming this percentage is the same for any group, then,

32% of 2500 = 0.32*2500 = 800 people of the second group are estimated to have blue eyes, of the 2500 total.
