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?(1 point)

Answer 1

To find out approximately how many customers out of 345 bought racing games, we can set up a proportion based on the information from the sample of 80 customers.

3 customers out of 80 bought racing games.

Let x be the number of customers out of 345 that bought racing games.

3/80 = x/345

Now, cross multiply to solve for x:

80x = 3 * 345
80x = 1035
x = 1035 / 80
x ≈ 12.9375

Therefore, approximately 13 customers out of 345 bought racing games.
