Answer:

5,276

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\frac{12.8}{50} = \frac{x}{20,607}[/tex]

cross multiplication

[tex]\frac{12.8}{50}*\frac{20,607}{20,607} = \frac{x}{20,607}*\frac{50}{50}\\\\\frac{263,769.6}{1,030,350}=\frac{50x}{1,030,350}[/tex]

Because they are both being divided by 1,030,350 we can simplify it to

[tex]263,769.6=50x\\\frac{263,769.6}{50}=\frac{50x}{50} \\\\5,275.392=x[/tex]

Because you cant have 0.392 of a woman, I always round up.

my answer would be 5,276
