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?

Answer 1

To find the approximate number of customers who bought racing games out of the total 345 customers that visited, we can set up a proportion:

3 customers bought racing games out of 80 surveyed customers

x customers bought racing games out of 345 total customers

We can set up the proportion as:

3/80 = x/345

Cross multiplying:

80x = 3 * 345
80x = 1035
x = 1035 / 80
x ≈ 12.94

Therefore, approximately 13 out of the 345 customers who visited that month bought racing games.
