Question

The ratio of customers who purchase items with coupons to customers who don't use coupons is 6 to 16. If 9 customers use coupons how many customers will not use coupons

Answer 1

Answer:

24 customers will not use coupons.

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of customers who use coupons = 9

Number of customers who don't use coupons = x

Ratio of customers who use coupons to customers who don't use coupons = 6:16

$=\frac{6}{16}$

$\frac{9}{x}=\frac{6}{16}$

$x=\frac{9\times 16}{6}=24$

24 customers will not use coupons.
