Question

Apple sent a survey to some of their customers. Some people were sent the survey but did not finish it. What is the fewest number of people that could of been given the the survey if exactly 93.6% of people completed it? Hint: How could we determine if only one person could have completed it? Can we have partial people complete the survey?

Answer 1

Answer:

117

Step-by-step explanation:

since it's exactly 93.6%, it means it must be more than 100people as it can't be 93.6people/100people as a person cannot be less than 1. the lowest possible number of people therefore can only be 117/125people as when converted to a fraction, 93.6% = 93.6/100 but no decimals are allowed in fractions so 936/1000 and when reduced/simplified, we get 117/125 hence the answer is 117.
