Answer:
The population of Linton is 8,904.
Step-by-step explanation:
To start out, they give you a ratio of 12:1, adding all the parts to get a whole would make this ratio 13:1.
Now, since the whole is 13, this means that 13 = 9,646 people.
Next we want to divide 9,646 by 13, this gives us 742.
X = 742
12x = 12 * 742 = 8,904
