Steps

Step 1 ：The population of a town is 55,000. A survey will be sent to 35% of the town's population. We need to find 35% of the town's population, which is 55,000. To do this, we can multiply the population by 0.35.

Step 2 ：$\text{population} = 55000$

Step 3 ：$\text{percentage} = 0.35$

Step 4 ：$\text{survey_recipients} = 55000 \times 0.35$

Step 5 ：$\text{survey_recipients} = 19250$

Step 6 ：$\boxed{\text{The survey will be sent to 19,250 people}}$
