Question

If the total number of people attending a gmae is 64,000 How many people supported the home team if there were 80% for the home team?

Answer 1

Answer:

51,200 people

Step-by-step explanation:

100% of the attendees = 64000. To find 80% of that number you multiply by the corresponding decimal to the percentage wanted. In this case, it is multiplied by .8.

Alternatively, you could set up a proportion.

100       *      80

64000          x

You cross multiply the 64000 and 80. Then you divide by 100.
