Explanation:

Step1: <Calculate the number of professionals>

To find the number of human - resource professionals who said body piercings and tattoos were big personal grooming red flags, we use the formula \(n = p\times N\), where \(p\) is the proportion (in decimal form) and \(N\) is the total number of professionals.
Given \(p = 45.6\%=0.456\) and \(N = 517\).
So, \(n=0.456\times517\).
