(Type an integer or a decimal.)

Step 1 ：Given that a polling company reported that $49 \%$ of 1013 surveyed adults said that rising gas prices are 'quite annoying'.

Step 2 ：We are asked to find the exact value that is $49 \%$ of 1013.

Step 3 ：To find this, we need to multiply 1013 by 0.49 (which is the decimal equivalent of 49%).

Step 4 ：Doing this calculation, we get a value of 496.37.

Step 5 ：However, since the context of the problem is about the number of people, it makes sense to round this result to the nearest whole number.
