Question

At a fair 15% less attended on Monday than the number of people who attended on Sunday. If 425 people attended on Monday find the number of people who came to the fair on Sunday.​

Answer 1

let we suppose x people went to the fair on Sunday.

now number of people attend the fair on monday=x-15%of x.

x-15x/100=100x-15x/100

85x/100

A/q

85x/100=425

85x=42500

x=42500/85

500

so, 500 people. attended the fair on sunday

Answer 2

Answer:

Number of people attended the fair on Sunday = 500

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

▪︎15% less attended on Monday at fair than number of people at Sunday

▪︎425 people attended the fair on Monday

To find :

Number of people attended the fair on Sunday

Taken :

Let the number of people attended fair on Sunday be x .

Let the reduction is

= 15% of x

= 15%/100 × x

= 15x/100

So , x is the people attended the fair on Sunday . Now , the equation will like this -:

$\sf{x-\dfrac{15x}{100}}$

Now , to find the number of people attended the fair on Sunday using this equation -:

$\boxed{\sf{425=x-\dfrac{15x}{100}}}$

Solution :

$:\implies\sf{425=\dfrac{x}{1}-\dfrac{15x}{100}}$

$:\implies\sf{425=\dfrac{100x-15x}{100}}$

$:\implies\sf{425=\dfrac{85x}{100}}$

$:\implies\sf{425\times100=85x}$

$:\implies\sf{42500=85x}$

$:\implies\sf{\cancel{\dfrac{42500}{85}}=x}$

$:\implies\sf{500=x}$

So , the number of people attended the fair on Sunday is 500 .
