Answer:
86,475 people live in poverty.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that the Total Cincinnati population is [tex]X_{TOT}=301,305[/tex] people.
We want to find the [tex]28.7[/tex]% of the Total population that lives in poverty. To do so we can use:
[tex]X_{POV}=\frac{28.7}{100}X_{TOT}[/tex]
where [tex]X_{POV}[/tex] is the amount of people that live in poperty. Plugging in values and solving we have:
[tex]X_{POV}=\frac{28.7}{100}301,305 \\X_{POV}=0.287*301,305\\X_{POV}=86,474.535[/tex]
However since here we are referring to number of people (i.e. population) we can not accept any irrational values so we need to round up our value so that
[tex]X_{POV}=86,475[/tex] people live in poverty in Cincinnati.
