survey responses-

banana: 23
apple: 18
orange: 34
peach: 27
pear: 18

using proportional reasoning, about how many students out of the 2,000 would you expect to select an orange as their favorite fruit?
a. about 34 students
b. about 58 students
c. about 283 students
d. about 567 students

 567 students.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, According to the given information,

The ratio of students who like orange and total number of student participate in the survey =

Let x students out of 2,000 students like orange.

Thus, In this case, the ratio of students who like orange and total number of student participate in the survey =

By the proportional reasoning,

Both ratio must be equal.

That is,    

⇒

⇒

⇒

Thus, out of 2000 students about 567 students select an orange as their favorite fruit.
