Bonnie has determined that the target market of her quilting supply store consists of 17 percent of Pine Valley's adult female population and 6 percent of the adult male population. Pine Valley's population consists of 5,600 women and 5,100 men. What is the total size of her target market?

1,258

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Pine Valley's population of 5,600 women and 5,100 men, we can form an equation to find the total size of Bonnie's target market based on her percentages. 17 percent female 6 percent male must first be converted to decimals by dividing by 100:

17/100 = 0.17 6/100 = 0.06

(0.17) (5600) + (0.06) (5100) = total market

952 + 306 = 1,258
