Question

You have a list of 250 'hot leads' who clicked on a link in your email. Your click rate is 7%. How many emails did you originally send?

Answer 1

We have originally sent 3571 emails.

Solution:

Let  x be the number of emails originally sent.

We know that, $7 \%-\frac{7}{100}=0.07$

Therefore, $x \times 0.07=250$

On solving for x , divide by 0.07 both sides

$\Rightarrow\frac{x \times0.07}{0.07}=\frac{250}{0.07}$

$\Rightarrow x\times0.07=250$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{250}{0.07}=3571.428\approx3571$

Therefore, number of mails sent 3571.
