The owner of a hobby store needed to calculate the
percentage of customers who purchase wood glue. Upon
completing his survey, he noticed that 60% of the people
that entered his store purchased an item. Of those
customers, 15 percent purchased wood glue. What percent of
the people that entered the store purchased wood glue?

a) 8%
b) 7%
c) 9%
d) 12%
e) 15%

Answer Posted / sonali

the ratio is asked with respect to the number of ppl that
entered the store ie say X
thus it would be ((60X/100)*(15/100))/X=9%

if the ratio was with respect to ppl who purchased some item
ie 60%X then it would be ((60X/100)*(15/100))/(60X/100)=15%

but according to ques it would be 9%
