The survey already used percentages. As for not thinking - it would seem to me worrying about the effects of one's purchases on the local economy, and the knock-on effects this has on sovereignty and politics, takes more thought than just short-sightedly picking the cheaper option no matter what.
Most people don't understand percentages.
Maybe: Most American people don't understand percentages?
Most people, no matter the place.
A lot if people are surprised when they discover that 100 + 50% - 59% is not 100.
I do not like percentages myself, I would prefer we say 0.8 of something because the option becomes a simple multiplication and it is easier not to make mistakes
Most people. They teach doctors to use frequency representations (i.e. 12 of 100) for a reason.
