Any ideas?
zarkam21 (zarkam21):
I think it would be 1500 times .5 which would equal 750?
OpenStudy (skullpatrol):
But that would be 50%, right?
OpenStudy (skullpatrol):
The question assumes that 5% of people like the restaurant.

Sooo?
zarkam21 (zarkam21):
Would it be 1,500 minus 750?
OpenStudy (skullpatrol):
Read the problem carefully and think about its meaning.
Decide what is being asked for
and what facts are known.
Making a sketch may help :-)
zarkam21 (zarkam21):
Okay, I thought about it and it is 375. I took 5% of 1,500 and ended up with 750. After this I divided it by 2 to determine the estimate of who would like it.
OpenStudy (skullpatrol):
5% of the general public like the restaurant

So 750?
zarkam21 (zarkam21):
750 like the restaurant
OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):
Given the fact that 5% of the general public like the restaurant, what percent of food critics should like the restaurant?
zarkam21 (zarkam21):
5% right? because there is no other information given about the food critics
