Question

1500 runners completed the Mumbai Marathon and 25% did not complete the race. How many runners were there in the race? Submit

Answer 1

Answer:

If 1500 completed, then it means 75% has completed

=> 0.75 * x = 1500

=> x = 1500/0.75 = 2000

Therefore, 2000 people participated in the race

Answer 2

Answer:

2000 Runners

Step-by-step explanation:

2000 runners

Let us assume that total R runners ran in Marathon.

25% of the runners did not complete the race. Hence, remaining 75% of the runners completed the race.

Number of runners completed the race = R × $\frac{75}{100}$  

 

1500 = R × $\frac{75}{100}$

 

R = 1500 × $\frac{100}{75}$

 

R = 2000 runners

There were 2000 runners in the race.
