Question

In a football match 5/7
of the spectators were in a covered place and 6000 were in open Find the total number of
spectators.????
​

Answer 1

Hello!

Solution:

$\frac{7}{7} - \frac{5}{7} = \frac{2}{7}$

$hence \: \frac{2}{7}x + 15000 = x$

$\frac{2}{7} x - x = - 15000$

$x = \frac{ - 15000 \times 7}{ - 5}$

$x = 21000$

Hence,the total no.of spectators = 21,000

Hope this helps
