The population of a town is 55,000 . A survey will be sent to $35 \%$ of the town's population. How many people will the survey be sent to?

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 ：\(\boxed{\text{The survey will be sent to 19,250 people}}\)
