Question

36 had a mild allergic reaction. What percent of the people had a mild allergic reaction?
% of the people had a mild allergic reaction,

Answer 1

0.6% of the people had a mild allergic reaction.

Explanation:

Given that:

Number of people who tried hair care products = 6000

Number of people who had reaction = 36

Percent of people =
`(Number\ of\ people\ with\ reactions)/(Total\ number)*100`

Percent of people =
`(36)/(6000)*100`

Percent of people = 0.6%

Hence,

0.6% of the people had a mild allergic reaction.
