Respuesta :

Given:

The mass of peanut butter sold = 80 pounds

The number of customers for that day = 120

Percentage of customers that bought peanut butter = 40%

We can find the number of customers that purchased peanut butter candies by multiplying the percentage by the total number of customers i.e

Let the number of customers that purchased peanut butter be x

Hence:

[tex]\begin{gathered} x\text{ = 40 \% }\times\text{ 120} \\ =\text{ }\frac{40}{100}\text{ }\times\text{ 120} \\ =\text{ 48} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Answer:

48 customers
