Answer:
We are given:
Total number of people in town = 1762
Number of people with post office box = 54
Therefore, the percent of the people in town that have a post office box is given below:
[tex]\frac{54}{1762} \times 100[/tex]
[tex]0.030646992 \times 100[/tex]
[tex]3.06\%[/tex] rounded to two decimal places
Therefore, 3.06% of the people in town have a post office box.
