Question

A fruit drink company tested a new flavor .In a test 46% of the people talking part liked the new flavor.If 69 people liked the new flavor, how many people took the test

Answer 1

Answer:

150 people took the test.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of people liked the new flavor = 69

Percentage of people liked the new flavor = 46%

We need to find the number of people who took the test.

Solution:

Let the number of people who took the test be 'x'.

So we can say that;

Percentage of people liked the new flavor multiplied by the number of people who took the test is equal to Number of people liked the new flavor.

framing in equation form we get;

$46\%\times x =69\\\\\frac{46}{100}x=69\\\\0.46x =69$

Dividing both side by 0.46 we get;

$\frac{0.46x}{0.46}=\frac{69}{0.46}\\\\x= 150$

Hence 150 people took the test.
