In a recent, local taste contest testing Coke against Pepsi, it was found that 3∕5 of all people surveyed preferred the taste of Coke. If 7,500 people were in the survey, how many chose Pepsi?



Answer :

7,500/5=1,500

So 3/5 of 7,500 would equal 3*1,500=4,500.

2/5 of 7,500 would be 2*1,500=3,000

Therefore 3,000 people chose Pepsi.
