Question

A survey of all beings on planet Tott found that 12 beings preferred

hab juice to all other juices. If 40 beings were surveyed altogether,
what percent of them preferred hab juice?
(step by step)

Answer 1

30% of them preferred hab juice.

Explanation:

Given:

A survey of all beings on planet Tott found that 12 beings preferred hab juice to all other juices.

40 beings were surveyed altogether.

Now, to find percent of them preferred hab juice.

Total beings surveyed = 40.

Number of beings preferred hab juice = 12.

So, to get the percent:

`(Total\ beings\ surveyed)/(Number\ of\ beings\ preferred\ hab\ juice) * 100.`

`=(12)/(40) * 100`

`=0.3* 100`

`=30\%.`

Therefore, 30% of them preferred hab juice.
