Ratio of people who said they like cereal bars to people who said they don't = 14:11

Number of people at a grocery shop = 500

Which means :

Thus, 280 people would buy cereal bars.

▪︎Therefore, out of 500 people, 280 people would buy cereal bars.

Ratio of cars which worked well to cars which were defective = 297:3

Number of care produced each day = 1000

Number of defective cars produced each day :

Thus, 15 defective cars are produced.

▪︎Therefore, out of 1000 cars produced each day, 15 cars are defective.
