% of the people had a mild allergic reaction,

Answer 1

Answer:

0.6% of the people had a mild allergic reaction.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Number of people who tried hair care products = 6000

Number of people who had reaction = 36

Percent of people = $\frac{Number\ of\ people\ with\ reactions}{Total\ number}*100$

Percent of people = $\frac{36}{6000}*100$

Percent of people = 0.6%

Hence,

0.6% of the people had a mild allergic reaction.
