Type the correct answer in each box. Use numerals instead of words. A publishing company conducted a survey asking readers whether they use e-readers. Of the 3,000 readers surveyed, 1,954 said they read
books on an e-reader.
Use this information to complete the statement. Round your answers to the nearest hundredth.
The approximate sample proportion is
which means that
% of the readers surveyed do not use e-readers.

The correct answer to this is 200 and 34.90%

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 3000 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.

2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.

3. If 100% equals 3000, so we can write it down as 100%=3000.

4. We know, that x% equals 1046 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1046.

5. Now we have two simple equations:

1) 100%=3000

2) x%=1046

where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:

100%/x%=3000/1046

6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1046 is what percent of 3000

100%/x%=3000/1046

(100/x)*x=(3000/1046)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x

100=2.868068833652*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.868068833652) to get x

100/2.868068833652=x

34.866666666667=x

x=34.866666666667

now we have:

1046 is 34.866666666667% of 3000

call the larger triangle abc

then the smaller triangle cde is similar to abc (all angles are equal, aaa).  

ab is the side that is 36, and we wish to find de, the side corresponding to ab

area_cde = area_abc - area_cde --> area_abc / area_cde = 2

let x=length of de

ratio of areas = (ratio of sides)^2
