Answer 1

Hi there!
The question sounds really complex, but the mathematical operations behind it is figuratively simple. Here, we are told to find 19 (18.7 rounded up is 19) percent of 1,000. To do this, we can set up a proportion to model the whole scenario.
$\frac{x}{1000} = \frac{19}{100}$
Now, just solve for x by cross multiplying and simplifying.
$\frac{x}{1000} = \frac{19}{100}$
$100x = 19000$
$x=190$
Therefore, 190 people out of 1,000 people leave out pertinent information on their IRS forms. Hope this helped and have a terrific day!
