Answer:

NY Mets fans are there in this town is: 120

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

NY Yankees : NY Mets

 3                         2

NY Mets  : Boston Red Sox

  4                       5

<=> NY Yankees : NY Mets :  Boston Red Sox

            12                8                       10

So we have totally 20 equal units in 300 baseball fans in the town

<=> 1 equal unit = 300/20 = 15

The number of NY Mets fans are there in this town is:

= 8 equal units * 15

= 120 people.
