18% of the customers that shopped at Good Buy used a coupon. If 600 customers shopped, what percentage used the coupon?

Sounds like a trick question lol it gives you the percentage...but then asks for it at the very end of the question

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

what percentage used the coupon? that would be 18%

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

I think they meant to ask "what NUMBER of people used the coupon"

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

if so, then you just multiply 0.18 by 600

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah that is correct, how many people used the coupon?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

0.18*600 = ???
