Answer: 120 people

Step-by-step explanation: To do this problem, you want to find common denominators. The lowest common denominator is 900. So to get the denominator to 900 from 30, multiply it by 30. 30 x 30=900. Multiply 4 by 30. 4 x 30=120. Another way to do this is to set up a proportion. It would be 4/30=x/900. Cross multiply and solve for x. 3600=30x. X=120.
