The company host a sampling of its new product at grocery stores and finds that 5 out of every 9 customers prefer that new extra crunchy version.


If the company normally sells a total of 90,000 containers of regular crunchy peanut butter, how many containers of new extra crunchy peanut butter should it produce, and how many containers of regular crunchy peanut butter should it produce? What would be helpful in solving this problem? Does one if our comparison statements above help us? (also know as the last question)

Explanation:

Answer 2

For every 9 customers that perfer extra crunchy there is 5 customers who like orignal, so that means...

9 can go into 9000 1, 000 times.
So It should be...
5 x 1, 000 = 5, 000.
They would probably need to make 5, 000.
