You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Note:
PBC= prefer black coffee
NBC= not to black coffee
Out of 100 coffee drinkers, we can say 36 are PBC, and the remaining 64 are NBC
PBC%2FNBC=36%2F64=18%2F32=9%2F16 --->ratio of PBC to NBC
That shows out of 100 coffee drinkers,for every 9 people who prefer black coffee, there are already 16 people who doesn't like black coffee.
Thank you,
