Craig randomly surveys 50 people to find their favorite store at the mall. He finds that 18

people say they like the clothing store the best. If he conducts a second survey with 125

people, which is the best prediction for the number of people who will say they like the

clothing store the best?

45

30

36

54

The best prediction is that 45 people will like the clothing store the best.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total amount of people starts at 50. It then increases to 125. To get to 125, 50 must have been multiplied by 2.5. Therefore, we will also multiply the number of people who favor the clothing store, 18, by 2.5. 18 x 2.5 = 45.
