Question

A survey of all beings on planet alaber found that 3 beings preferred tott juice to all other juices. If 12 beings were surveyed altogether, what percent of them perferred tott juice

Answer 1

Answer: 25% of the beings preferred tott juice.

Explanation:

In this case, 12 represents the 100%.

We want to know which percentage represents the number 3.

Then we have the relation:

12 = 100%

3 = X%

Where X% is the percentage we want to find.

We can take the quotients between these two equations to get:

(12/3) = (100%/X%)

Now we need to solve this for X%

(12/3)*X% = 100%

X% = (100%)/(12/3) = (100%)*(3/12) = 25%

This means that 3 is the 25% of 12.

Then 25% of the beings preferred tott juice.
