A Seventh Grade Math class surveyed the school to determine which car their teacher should purchase. The results are shown in the table.

Car Survey Results
Truck | 22
SUV | 12
Sports car | 19
Sedan | 17

70 people were surveyed. If 2,000 people were surveyed, about how many would choose the SUV? Please explain how to get to the answer and what it is.

(12/70) is the fraction that chooses SUV
so
(12/70) (2,000)
12/70 = 0.1714

0.1714 * 2000 = 342.9 = 343
Thank you! I had this same answer, but it's better to double-check.
