Question

60% of people in a house party ate dinner. If there are 25 people in
the party, how many of them:
(a) ate dinner?
(b) did not eat dinner?

Answer 1

Answer:

(a)15 (b)10

Step-by-step explanation:

60% of 25 = 15

60/100=x/25 cross multiply

60(25)=100x

1500=100x divide both sides by 100

15=x

then you will have the answer to (a)

25-15=10

so 10 people didn't eat dinner

Answer 2

Answer:

(a) 15 people ate dinner

(b) 10 people didn't eat dinner
