Question

In a poll, 1,325 people are surveyed about their preferred political candidate. 38% of respondents said they support candidate A.

Answer 1

To determine how many of the 1,325 people surveyed support candidate A, you can calculate 38% of 1,325.

Here’s the calculation:

\[
\text{Number of supporters for candidate A} = \frac{38}{100} \times 1325
\]

Calculating this step by step:

1. Convert the percentage to a decimal: \( 38\% = 0.38 \).
2. Multiply by the total number of respondents:

\[
0.38 \times 1325 = 503.5
\]

Since we can't have a half of a person in this context, you would typically round this to the nearest whole person. Thus, about 504 respondents support candidate A.

So, approximately **504 people** support candidate A.
