Question

On a national day ,12000 participants took part in the national day parade.55% of the participants wore red shirts and the rest wore white shirts .how many participants wore white shirts?

Answer 1

No. of participants= 12,000

Percentage of participants who wore red shirts=55%

Percentage of participants who wore white shirts=100-Percentage of partcipants that wore red shirts

=100-55%

=45%

No. of participants who wore white shirts= 45% of 12,000

=45/100 × 12,000

=5,400

Therefore 5,400 participants wore white shirts.
