A video streaming service has three subscription tiers: Basic, Standard, and Premium. Originally, 25\frac{2}{5} of the subscribers are on the Basic tier and 45%45\% are on the Standard tier. During a promotional campaign, 14\frac{1}{4} of the Basic subscribers upgrade to the Standard tier, and 20%20\% of the original Standard subscribers upgrade to the Premium tier. If no other subscription changes occur, what percent of the total subscribers are now on the Premium tier?

  5. E
    9%9\%

Cevap

The correct answer is 24%24\% of the total subscribers.
To find the new Premium subscriber percentage, we first convert the basic tier fraction to a percent: 25=40%\frac{2}{5} = 40\%. Since the Standard tier is 45%45\%, the original Premium tier must contain the remaining subscribers, which is 100%−40%−45%=15%100\% - 40\% - 45\% = 15\% of the total. The upgrade represents 20%20\% of the original 45%45\% Standard subscribers, which is 0.20×45%=9%0.20 \times 45\% = 9\% of the total subscribers. Adding this 9%9\% upgrade to the original 15%15\% Premium percentage results in a final percentage of 24%24\%.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Determine the original subscriber percentages for all three tiers.
Basic: 25=40%\frac{2}{5} = 40\%. Standard: 45%45\%. Premium: 100%−(40%+45%)=15%100\% - (40\% + 45\%) = 15\%.
Establishing the starting percentages allows us to track changes relative to the total subscriber population.
2
Calculate the percentage of total subscribers upgrading from Standard to Premium.
20%20\% of the original 45%45\% Standard subscribers = 0.20×45%=9%0.20 \times 45\% = 9\% of the total subscribers.
Since the upgrade rate is relative to the Standard tier, we multiply the rate by the Standard tier's share of the total population.
3
Calculate the final Premium percentage by adding the upgrade percentage to the original Premium percentage.
15%+9%=24%15\% + 9\% = 24\%.
The final Premium percentage is the sum of the original Premium percentage and the percentage of subscribers who upgraded from Standard.
