Answer

Answer: 24900 Fans.

Work Step by Step

Let's assume the x is the no of fans expected to have beverages out of 28500 fans. Now, we will write the proportion for the given details. $\frac{7}{8} = \frac{x}{28500}$ $7\times28500 = x\times8$ (cross multiply) $8 x = 199500$ $x = 24937.5 $ (divide by 8) i.e. 24900 fans (nearest hundred) 24900 fans expected to have beverages out of 28500 fans.
