Factor | Percent of Respondents |
Factor | Percent of Respondents |
User-friendly | 56% |
Fast response time | 48% |
Bargain prices | 42% |
The table gives three factors to be considered when choosing an Internet service provider and the percent of the 1,100 respondents to a survey who cited that factor as important. If 30 percent of the respondents cited both “user-friendly” and “fast response time,” what is the maximum possible number of respondents who cited “bargain prices,” but neither “user-friendly” nor “fast response time?”
Answer/Solution
286
Steps/Work
The way I looked at is is as follows:
UserFriendly(UF) + FastResponse (FR) = 30%
UF leftover = 56 - 30 = 26%
FR leftover = 48 - 30 = 18%
Sum these = 74% (ie. 74% were either UF+FR, UF, FR)
26% leftover is the maximum number for Bargain Price
26/100 * 1100 = 26 * 11 = 286 (A).
UserFriendly(UF) + FastResponse (FR) = 30%
UF leftover = 56 - 30 = 26%
FR leftover = 48 - 30 = 18%
Sum these = 74% (ie. 74% were either UF+FR, UF, FR)
26% leftover is the maximum number for Bargain Price
26/100 * 1100 = 26 * 11 = 286 (A).
