Answer: 9 times
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the total number students be x.
Then the number of students liked cookies and cream = 18% of x= 0.18 x
The number of strawberry = 2% of x = 0.02 x
Clearly, 0.18 x> 0.02 x
The number of times more students prefer cookies and cream than prefer strawberry =[tex]=\frac{0.18x}{0.02x}=9[/tex]
Hence, The students prefer 9 times cookies and cream than prefer strawberry.
