The maximum number of people who could have an income of $45,000 if the total number of people surveyed was 25,635 is given by: Option C: 3333
How to find the percentage from the total value?
Suppose the value of which a thing is expressed in percentage is "a'
Suppose the percent that considered thing is of "a" is b%
Then since percent shows per 100 (since cent means 100), thus we will first divide the whole part in 100 parts and then we multiply it with b so that we collect b items per 100 items(that is exactly what b per cent means).
Thus, that thing in number is
[tex]\dfrac{a}{100} \times b[/tex]
We need the maximum number of people who could have an income of $45,000 if the total number of people surveyed was 25,635
From the pie chart shown, we see that 45000 will fall in that "35000 and over" .
It is 13% of all population.
For maximum, let all that 13% is earning only $45000
Then that means $45000 earning person are at maximum 13% fo the total population.
Since total population given is of 25,635 size.
Thus, we get:
Maximum number of people that can have $45000 is: [tex]\dfrac{25635}{100} \times 13 \approx 3333[/tex] (in whole number as persons are going to be in whole number).
Thus, the maximum number of people who could have an income of $45,000 if the total number of people surveyed was 25,635 is given by: Option C: 3333
