    Using ratio and proportion, we can solve this problem.

    Take the ratio and proportion to both sides,

    87people will vote for other person/114 total people=x people/9918 total people

    rearrange the equation to get the value of x

    x = 7569

    The answer is letter b. 7569 people.
