In a 2011 survey of consumers , 3 out of 4 reporters that they received more emails than they can read. if 2224 consumers were included in the survey, how many consumers reported that they received more emails than they can read?

This question can be solved using two methods. If 3/4 consumers said they could not read them all, that is 75% of the survey. If 2224 people participated, that is the whole, and not the part. So, your proportion would look like this. 75/100 = x/2224 is what it should look like. After solving the proportion, you should get 1668 people that could not read all of their emails. Another method is by multiplying decimals. If you have 75% , the decimal version would be .75. All you have to do is multiply 2224 by .75 and you should get your answer. The answer being (again) 1668. So it would be 1668 consumers that received more emails than they could read. Hope this helps, and have a nice day!

Iknow one of the answers is a and maybe b but not 100% sure about b
