Respuesta :

Answer:

0.3 percent of the people had a mild allergic​ reaction

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of comma people try a new shampoo  =  8000

Number of people who had a mild allergic reaction = 24

To Find:

Percent of the people had a mild allergic​ reaction = ?

Solution:

Let the percent of the people had a mild allergic​ reaction be x

Then,

x = [tex]\frac{ \text{ Number of people with mild allergic reaction}}{ \text {total number of people who used the shampoo}} \times 100[/tex]

x = [tex]\frac{24}{8000} \times 100[/tex]

x= [tex]0.003\times 100[/tex]

x=  0.3
