Answer:
100 people
Step-by-step explanation:
In the attached image below we can see that the original survey was done on a total of 50 individuals (12 + 3 + 20 + 15 = 50). Out of these 50, 20 of them answered basketball.
20 / 50 = 0.40 ... multiply by 100 to get percentage
0.40 * 100 = 40%
We can see that this is 40% of the original survey sample population. If we use this same percentage, we can predict how many individuals out of 250 would answer basketball. We calculate this by multiplying 250 by 40% in decimal form, like so...
250 * 0.40 = 100
Finally, we can predict that 100 people would most likely answer basketball.
