Explanation / Answer

Here the number of people attended is 800

Among 800.

50 members are surveyed and 18 of them are planning to adopt an animal next year.

The ration who adopt animal is 18/50.

This static gives a rough idea of how many people in 800 are going to adopt an animal.

Considering this static

(18/50)*800 =288

288 members are going to adopt an animal.

For better result.

If we survey all the 800 we will know the exact number of people willing to adopt an animal.
