Answer:

0.006% of people had a reaction

Explanation:

1,500 tried it -----> 9 had a reaction

9/1,500

Divide both numerator and denominator by 3

3/500

Multiply by 2 to get the fraction out of 1000

6/1000

Divide by 10 to get the fraction out of 100

0.6/100

0.006%

Hope this helps :) Let me know if you have any questions about my answer.
