Question

A local video game store randomly surveyed 80 customers that visited last month about the type of video game they bought. The manager finds that 3 customers bought racing games. If there are 345 customers that visited that month, approximately how many of them bought racing games? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.(1 point) customers

Answer 1

To estimate the number of customers who bought racing games out of 345 total customers, you can set up a proportion based on the survey results.

From the survey:

• Number of customers surveyed = 80
• Number of customers who bought racing games in the survey = 3

First, you can calculate the proportion of customers who bought racing games in the survey:

\[ \text{Proportion} = \frac{3}{80} \]

Next, apply this proportion to the total number of customers (345):

\[ \text{Estimated number of customers who bought racing games} = \text{Proportion} \times \text{Total customers} = \frac{3}{80} \times 345 \]

Now, let's calculate it:

\[ \frac{3 \times 345}{80} = \frac{1035}{80} \approx 12.9375 \]

Rounding to the nearest whole number gives:

\[ \approx 13 \]

Therefore, approximately 13 customers bought racing games.
