a survey of n people in the town of eros found that 50 % of them preferred brand a . another survey of 125 people in the town of angie found that 60 % preferred brand a . in total , 55 % of all the people surveyed together preferred brand a . what is the total number of people surveyed ?
it is simply a weighted average question . since the given average of 50 % and 60 % is 55 % ( right in the middle ) , it means the number of people surveyed in eros ( n ) is same as the number of people surveyed in angie . so n = 125 total = 125 + 125 = 250 answer ( e )
divide(subtract(multiply(125, divide(60, const_100)), multiply(125, divide(55, const_100))), subtract(divide(55, const_100), divide(50, const_100)))
