Question

Fifty-two of 75 people interviewed said they liked orange juice with breakfast. What percent of those interviewed said they like orange juice with breakfast?

Answer 1

`69 1/3%` like orange juice with breakfast

Explanation:

The question amounts to asking:

For what value of `x` is
`color(white)("XXX")52/75 = x/100` (since "per cent" means "per hundred")

Multiplying both sides of the above equation by `100` gives
`color(white)("XXX")x=52/cancel(75)_3xxcancel(100)^4`

`color(white)("XXX")=208/3 = 69 1/3` per hundred
