Question

At your birthday, 38 of the 24 guests were relatives. How many of the guests were NOT relatives?

Answer 1

15 guests were not relative.

Explanation:

It is given that,

At your birthday, 3/8 of the 24 guests were relatives.

No of relatives,

`=(3)/(8)* 24\\\\=9`

So, there are 9 relative at the party.

No of guests that are not relative,

= 24 - 9

= 15

Hence, 15 guests were not relative.
