Question

A fruit-drinking company tester a new flavor. In a taste test, 34% of the people taking part liked the new flavor. If 51 people liked the new flavor, how many people took the test? A. 34 B. 17 C. 150 D. 77

Answer 1

C. 150

Explanation:

The number of people who took the test is unknown, so call it x.

34% of x liked the flavor.

51 people liked the flavor.

That means that 34% of x is equal to 51.

34% of x = 51

0.34x = 51

x = 51/0.34

x = 150

Answer: C. 150
