Given:

Total respondents = 500

Percentage preferring Option A = 60%

Formula used:

Number of people preferring Option A = Total respondents × (Percentage preferring Option A / 100)

Calculation:

Number of people preferring Option A = 500 × (60 / 100)

⇒ Number of people preferring Option A = 500 × 0.6

⇒ Number of people preferring Option A = 300

∴ The correct answer is option 3.
