Divide the number of people selected by the total number of people.

90/500 =.18

This means that 18% of the customers were selected for the survey.

If the probability is the same on Saturday, then we can multiply the expected customers by our. 18

700 x. 18 = 126

126 should be selected for the survey on Saturday.
