Answer:
36,960 people
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]\frac{is}{of}=\frac{percent}{100}[/tex] is the formula to solve for this equation, here plugging in all our numbers gives us [tex]\frac{x}{480,000} = \frac{77}{100}[/tex].
We do not know our "is" so we replace it for x and solve → [tex]x=(480,000)(\frac{77}{100} )[/tex] = 36,960 people
