A company is getting feedback on a new flavor of chips. In their initial round of testing, 16% of customers disliked the flavor and complained. The company's call center receives 915 calls giving feedback about the product. How many calls can be expected to be complaints about the taste? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.
The percentage of customers who disliked the flavor and complained is 16%. To find the number of complaints among the 915 calls, we can set up a proportion:
(16/100) = X/915
Cross multiplying, we get:
100X = 16 * 915
100X = 14640
X = 14640 / 100
X = 146.4
Rounding to the nearest whole number, we can expect about 146 calls to be complaints about the taste.
