Question

At a local Dunkin’ Donuts, a survey showed that out of 1,300 customers eating lunch, 520 ordered coffee with their meal. What percent of customers did not order coffee?

Answer 1

First subtract the number that did, to find the number that didn't.

1300 - 520 = 780 customers did not order coffee.

Now divide the number who didn't order coffee by total number of customers:

780 / 1300 = 0.6

Multiply by 100 to get the percent:

0.6 x 100 = 60% did not order coffee.
