Question

Larry, who has 150,000 friends on Facebook, posts two products. If 12,000 of his friends buy one and 5,000 of his friends buy the other, what percentage of Larry's friends purchased products? (Round to the nearest percent.)

Answer 1

11% of his friends did since (12,000 + 5,000)/150,000 = 17,000/150,000 = 17/150 = 0.1133 or 11%

Answer 2

Hey there!

Here is your answer:

The proper answer to this question is "11.3%".

Reason:

First add the number of friends that bought some of Larry's products.....

$12,000+5,000=17,000$

What percent is 17,000 of 150,000?

17,000 is 150,000= 11.3%

Therefore the answer is 11.3%!
