In a survey of 50 monthly bus rider, 16 were satisfied with the service. if there 750 monthly bus riders, how many can be expected to be satisfied with the service?

Answer 1

We can use proportions to solve this problem.

Let x be the number of monthly bus riders who are satisfied with the service.

From the survey, we know that:

16/50 = x/750

To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:

50x = 16 * 750

50x = 12,000

x = 240

Therefore, we can expect 240 monthly bus riders to be satisfied with the service.
