Levi's city took a telephone poll about a plan to build a new hotel downtown. 7,000 people took the poll. 5,320 of them were in favor of the new hotel. What percentage of the people polled were in favor of the hotel? Write your answer using a percent sign (\%).

To find the percentage of people in favor of the new hotel, you can use the formula: \[\text{Percentage} = \left(\frac{\text{Number of people in favor}}{\text{Total number of people polled}}\right) \times 100\] Plugging in the numbers: \[\text{Percentage} = \left(\frac{5,320}{7,000}\right) \times 100 \approx 76\%\] So, approximately 76% of the people polled were in favor of the hotel.
