The table given below indicates the number of consumers who preferred one or both drinks. Read the table and answer questions.
The percent of consumers more than 40 years of age who did not prefer any one of the drink is about
Solution
Let's tabulate all the information from the given table:
The calculation is as follows:
Consider the male 18 - 25 range:
=> Total consumers = 600
=> Out of them, 240 like A, 180 like B, 90 like both
=> Number of people who like either = 240 + 180 - 90 = 330
=> 600 - 330 = 270 people don't like any of the drinks.
Doing the same calculation for all the categories and tabulating, we get:
Total consumers above 40 years old = 1200 + 960 = 2160; out of these, 780 + 600 = 1380 preferred none of the drinks.
=> Required %age = 1380/2160 * 100 = 63.88 = 69%
