Q. A clothing company took a random sample of its T-shirt sales and found that 25\frac{2}{5} of the T-shirts sold in the sample were size medium. If the sample is representative of all T-shirts sold by the company, approximately how many of the 25,44825,448 T-shirts sold were size medium?\newlineChoose 11 answer:\newline(A) 5,0905,090\newline(B) 10,18010,180\newline(C) 15,27015,270
  1. Calculate medium T-shirts sold: Calculate the number of medium T-shirts sold.\newlineTo find out how many T-shirts were size medium, multiply the total number of T-shirts sold by the fraction that represents the medium size T-shirts.\newline(25)×25,448=10,179.2(\frac{2}{5}) \times 25,448 = 10,179.2
  2. Round to whole number: Round to the nearest whole number.\newlineSince we cannot sell a fraction of a T-shirt, we round the number to the nearest whole number.\newline10,179.210,179.2 rounds to 10,17910,179.
