Suppose 50% of the people in a particular population have high blood pressure. Of the people with high blood pressure, suppose 75% smoke; whereas, only 50% of the people without high blood pressure actually smoke. What percent of people who smoke have high blood pressure

37.50%

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the percentage of people who smoke have high blood pressure is shown below:

Given that

There is 50% of the people who has the high blood pressure

And, out of which 75% would smoke

So, the percent of the people who smoke have high high blood pressure is

= 50% × 0.75

= 37.50%

the entire expression should be subtracted from 30. to subtract the quantity, distribute the negative sign, which changes the signs on the terms. so, the –2 changes to positive and gets added to 30 instead of subtracted from it.

hope this ! ^w^
