15 people received an email and sent it to 3 different friends each, who in turn each sent it to 2 new people. What percent of the total number of people who received the e-mail are the original 15 people?

Respuesta :

The original 15 people are 10% of the total number of people who received the mail.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Number of people who received mail = 15

Mail further sent to 3 more friends;

Number of people who received mail from 15 people = 15*3 = 45 people

Number of people who received mail from 45 people = 45*2 = 90 people

Total number of people = 15+45+90 = 150 people

Now,

Percent of original people = [tex]\frac{Number\ of\ original\ people}{Total\ number\ of\ people}*100[/tex]

Percent of original people = [tex]\frac{15}{150}*100=10\%[/tex]

The original 15 people are 10% of the total number of people who received the mail.
