D、2700
E、3000

答案B

解析 In this question, it is given that of the people surveyed, 58% were at most 40 years old and 70% were at most 60 years old. Therefore, 70% — 58%, or 12%, of the people surveyed were more than 40 years old and at most 60 years old, and you are given that 252 people are in this group. Let x be the total number of people in the survey. Then 12% of x is 252, that is, 0.12x = 252, and so x == 2,100. Therefore, the total number of people in the survey was 2,100, and the correct answer is Choice B.
