Question

In a fair out of 5 people 2 are men and 2 are women and the remaining are children there are 2500 people at the fair. what percentage of people are adult?​

Answer 1

Answer:

33%

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:  The Latin phrase "per centum," which meaning "by the hundred," was the source of the English word "percentage." Fractions having a denominator of 100 are called percentages. In other words, it is a relationship where the value of "whole" is always assumed to be 100.

Step 2: The denominator of a percentage (also known as a ratio or fraction) is always 100. Sam, for instance, would have received 30 out of a possible 100 points if he had received 30% on his arithmetic test. In ratio form, it is expressed as 30:100 and in fraction form as 30/100. In this case, the percentage symbol "%" is interpreted as "percent" or "percentage." This percent sign may always be changed to a fraction or decimal equivalent by using "divided by 100."

Step 3: men = 2x, women =2x, children = 1x

2x+3x+x= 2500

6x= 2500

x= 416.67

men = 2x = 2$\times$416=832 man

women =2x= 2$\times$416=832 women

children = x= 416

Adult = 832/2500$\times 100$=33%
