Solution Steps

To find the approximate number of e-scooter rides that resulted in injuries, we need to calculate the injury rate for each given scenario and then sum them up. The injury rate is calculated by dividing the number of injuries by the total number of rides and then multiplying by the total number of rides to get the number of injuries.

Step 1: Calculate Total Injuries

We are given the following data for e-scooter rides resulting in injuries:

  • \( \text{Injuries}_1 = 10 \) out of \( \text{Rides}_1 = 500,000 \)
  • \( \text{Injuries}_2 = 40 \) out of \( \text{Rides}_2 = 750,000 \)
  • \( \text{Injuries}_3 = 20 \) out of \( \text{Rides}_3 = 100,000 \)
  • \( \text{Injuries}_4 = 30 \) out of \( \text{Rides}_4 = 250,000 \)

To find the total number of injuries, we sum the injuries from each scenario:

\[ \text{Total Injuries} = \text{Injuries}_1 + \text{Injuries}_2 + \text{Injuries}_3 + \text{Injuries}_4 = 10 + 40 + 20 + 30 = 100 \]

Final Answer

The total number of e-scooter rides that resulted in injuries is \\(\boxed{100}\\).
