To estimate the number of people in springfield, population 10,000, who have a swimming pool in their backyard, 250 people were interviewed. of those, 115 had a swimming pool. how many people in the city might we expect to have a swimming pool? round to the nearest whole number if necessary.

4600 people in the city might expect to have a swimming pool.

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a total population of  10,000 people in Springfield.

Hence among 10000 people the number of people who have swimming pool is: 0.46×10000=4600.

Hence out of 10000 people 4600 people have swimming pool.

both equations and proportions are better.
