Answer:

Total number of students joining workforce after graduation ≈ 116

Explanation:

Number of students polled = 240

Number of students joining workforce = 33

Percentage of students joining workforce (polled):

$(33)/(240)\cdot100 =13.75$

Total Number of students in high school = 840

Percentange of students joining workforce will eventually remain the same

that is 13.75%

Find 13.75% of 840 to find the total number of students from high school which will be joining workforce after graduation:

$(13.75)/(100) \cdot840 = 115.5$

Total number of students joining workforce after graduation ≈ 116
