Question

An environment group invited 450 people to a fundraising event .315 people accepted the invention. What percent of the people accepted the invitation

Answer 1

Given:

Total number of invited people = 450

Total number of people who accept the invitation = 315

To find:

The percent of the people who accepted the invitation.

Solution:

We need to find 315 is what percent of 450.

$\%=\dfrac{\text{Number of invited people - Who accept the invitation}}{\text{Number of invited people}}\times 100$

$\%=\dfrac{450-315}{450}\times 100$

$\%=\dfrac{135}{45}\times 10$

$\%=3\times 10$

$\%=30$

Therefore, 30% of the people accepted the invitation.
