You are given that Daily newspaper circulation is about 300 copies for every 1,000 persons.

Then write all given data as proportion:

300 copies - 1,000 persons

x copies - 50,000 persons

or

[tex]\dfrac{300}{x}=\dfrac{1,000}{50,000}.[/tex]

Solve it:

[tex]x=\dfrac{300\cdot 50,000}{1,000}=15,000.[/tex]

Answer:  At this rate, would be sold 15,000 newspapers in a town of 50,000 people

It is given that the circulation is 300 copies per 1000 persons.

Total population = 50,000

Let us find how many 1000s go in 50,000

[tex]\frac{50000}{1000} =50[/tex]

For each of this number, 300 copies are circulated.

Multiply 50 and 300

50 x 300 = 15,000

Hence, 15,000 newspapers would be sold.
