To determine the number of consumers which might prefer eating locally produced food, we simply multiply the metropolitan population by the decimal equivalent of the percentage given. That is,
                            = (1,773,120)(0.70) 
                            = 1,241,184
Thus, 1,241,184 will most likely prefer the locally produced food.
