Answer 1

Answer: Percent of people who had a mild allergic is 0.6%.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Total number of people try a new shampoo = 7000

Number of people had a mild allergic reaction = 42

We need to find the "Percentage of people had a mild allergic":

Percentage of people had a mild allergic is given by

`\frac{\text{ Total number of people who had a mild allergic}}{\text{ Total number of people}}* 100\\\\=(42)/(7000)* 100\\\\=(42)/(70)\\\\=0.6\%`

Hence, Percent of people who had a mild allergic is 0.6%.
