The theoretical probability of undesirable side effects resulting from taking Grebex is 3 in 11. If 110 people take Grebex to lower their blood pressure how many will encounter undesirable side effects?
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "3 in 11 is the same as 3x in 11x where 3x is # with unde. side effects.
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Equation 3x + 11x = 110
\n" ); document.write( "14x = 110
\n" ); document.write( "x = 110/14
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "# of 110 = 3x= 3(110/14) = 23.57
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Round up to # = 24
