90% of runners who started a marathon completed it. Of those, 30% are men. If 270 men completed the marathon, then how many total runners started the marathon?
Answers
There are ninety percentages of runners who started the marathon completed it. In this, percentages are men.
If roughly about 270 men completed the marathon, then the explanation for the total runners is given below.
The answer to this question is 1000.
It is because the ninety percentages of three hundred will be 270.
Hence the thirty percentages of thousand will be three hundred.
Find the number of participants that completed the marathon:
Percentage of men that completed the marathon = 30%
Number of men that completed the marathon = 270
30 % = 270
1% = 270 ÷ 30 = 9
100% = 9 x 100 = 900
Find the number of participants:
Number of participants completed the marathon = 900
Percentage of participants completed the marathon = 90%
90% = 900
1% = 900 ÷ 90 = 10
100% = 10 x 100 = 1000
Answer: A total of 1000 runners participated in the marathon.
