Question 1068931: Johns restaurant did a survey and discovered that its customers preferred orange juice to cranberry juice by a four to three ratio. If 165 preferred cranberry juice, how many customers were interviewed? Answer by jorel1380(3719) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The ratio of orange juice likers to cranberry juice likers is 4:3. Let n be the number of orange juice likers. Then:
4/3=n/165
3n=660
n=220 liked orange juice better
165 liked cranberry juice
385 customers were interviewed overall. ☺☺☺☺
