Answer 2

Answer:

36,960 people

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{is}{of}=\frac{percent}{100}$ is the formula to solve for this equation, here plugging in all our numbers gives us $\frac{x}{480,000} = \frac{77}{100}$.

We do not know our "is" so we replace it for x and solve → $x=(480,000)(\frac{77}{100} )$ = 36,960 people
