Q. In a random sample of

200

U.S. adults,

152

have read at least one book in the past

12

months. Based on this information, approximately how many of the

255

million U.S. adults have not read a book in the past

12

months?

Determine Proportion of U.S. Adults: Determine the proportion of U.S. adults in the sample who have not read a book in the past $12$ months. $\newline$ Calculation: If $152$ out of $200$ have read a book, then $200 - 152$ have not read a book. $\newline$ $200 - 152 = 48$
Calculate Percentage of U.S. Adults: Calculate the percentage of U.S. adults in the sample who have not read a book. $\newline$ Calculation: $(48 / 200) \times 100$ to find the percentage. $\newline$ $(48 / 200) \times 100 = 24\%$
Estimate Number of U.S. Adults: Apply the percentage to the total U.S. adult population to estimate the number who have not read a book. $\newline$ Calculation: $24\%$ of $255$ million U.S. adults. $\newline$ $0.24 \times 255$ million = $61.2$ million
Round Result to Nearest Million: Round the result to the nearest million, as the answer choices are in whole millions. $\newline$ Calculation: $61.2$ million rounds to $61$ million.

Question

Luke and Owen have

\$ 100

each. Their friend offered to invest their money, promising to return a sum

r

times as great as what they invested. Luke was suspicious, so he invested

\$ 10

only, but Owen invested his entire

\$ 100

. Fortunately, the friend did indeed return a sum

r

times as great to each.

\newline

They decided to make another investment. This time, Owen invested all of the money returned to him, and Luke invested the money returned to him and the remaining

\$ 90

. Again, they got a sum

r

times as great as what they invested. In the end, Owen had

more than Luke.
