3,500

Step-by-step explanation:

70% is equal to 0.70.

When you need to find a percent of a population, you multiply the decimal form to the population.

Therefore, with 70% of 5000, you multuiply 5000 by 0.70 which will give you 3500.

3,500 students would select roller coasters as their favorite ride.
