Question

You have a list of 140 'hot leads' who clicked on a link in your email. Your click rate is 4%. How many emails did you ORIGINALLY send?

Answer 1

100*140=4X
14000=4X
3500=X

Answer 2

Let

x------> number of emails originally sent

we know that

`4\%= (4)/(100)=0.04`

so

`x*0.04=140`

Solve for x

Divide by
`0.04` both sides

`x*0.04/0.04=140/0.04`

`x=140/0.04`

`x=3,500\ emails`

therefore

the answer is

`3,500\ emails`
