Question

The ratio of customers who purchase items with coupons to customers who don't use coupons is 6 to 16. If 9 customers use coupons how many customers will not use coupons

Answer 1

24 customers will not use coupons.

Explanation:

Number of customers who use coupons = 9

Number of customers who don't use coupons = x

Ratio of customers who use coupons to customers who don't use coupons = 6:16

`=(6)/(16)`

`(9)/(x)=(6)/(16)`

`x=(9* 16)/(6)=24`

24 customers will not use coupons.
