On Saturday,384 people went to The Youth Wing, 389 people went to Social Issues, and 495 wentto Fiction and Literature.On Sunday, the library had 1300 total visitors. Based on what Parker had recorded onSaturday, about how many people should be expected to go to Social Issues? Roundyour answer to the nearest whole number.

Answer 1

First, we have to find the percent that went to social issue on saturday

`\begin{gathered} 384+389+495=1,268 \\ (389)/(1268)=0.307=30.7\text{ \%} \end{gathered}`

So, with this we can calculate the Sunday amount

`1300(0.307)=399.1=399`

399 people are expected to go to Social Issues
