A study reported that 15% of toddlers have food allergies. If 14,500 parents of toddlers were polled, how many parents made this claim?

Answer = 2,175

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to find 1% of your number (14,500). You do this by dividing your number by 100, which gives you 1% of your number. 1% of 14,500 = 145. Now, you multiply your 1% (145) by the percentage you need (15%).

145 * 15 = 2,175.
