Question

In Manhattan, there are 15 CoffeeStops per 100,000 people Manhattan has approximately 1,602,000 people How many Coffee Stops are there?

Answer 1

Answer:

Given that 15coffee stops=100,000people

then: x= 1,602,000

100,000×x= 15×1,602,000

100,000x= 24,030,000

100,000x÷100,000= 24,030,000÷100,000

x= 240.3

so therefore there are 240.3 coffee stops if there are 1,602,000
