Title: Ad Mafs Post by: RED-DOG on April 05, 2015, 11:00:29 AM I just saw an advert which informed me that "76% of 110 women agreed".
How the hell do I work out what actual percentage that is?

How the hell do I work out what actual percentage that is? 76% is the actual percentage. From the information given 84 (83.6) women agreed. To work it out 110/100 x 76 = Number of women.

Of course it is. (I'm excruciatingly dim sometimes). Title: Re: Ad Mafs Post by: Tal on April 07, 2015, 01:20:09 PM Ridiculous way of getting the post count up.
::) PS. It's way more daft when 52% of 36 women agree that their hair is four times more lustrous than it was before they used New Ladies Shampoo with Pro-Hairinol B7. Literally everything in that makes me annoyed. Title: Re: Ad Mafs Post by: dakky on April 08, 2015, 10:37:29 PM I just saw an advert which informed me that "76% of 110 women agreed".
