Question

in a contest 5% of the entrants won prizes.if 30 prizes were won, and no entrants wom more than one prizes, how many entrants did not win any prizes

Answer 1

Answer:

570 did not win prizes

Step-by-step explanation:

let total contestants be x

so 5% won prizes hence 95% did not

=> 5x/100 = 30 (representation of the people who won)[this equation is to find out x]

so x = 3000/5

=> x=600

who did not win prizes = 95×600/100 = 570

ans> 570 people did not win any prizes.

hope this helped
