Answer 1

The newspaper has 1000 readers in total.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total number of readers the newspaper has, we can use the equation:

Total number of readers = Number of letters to the editor / Percentage of all readers

In this case, the number of letters to the editor is 60 and the percentage is 6%. Let's calculate:

Total number of readers = 60 / 0.06 = 1000

Therefore, the newspaper has 1000 readers in total.
