Last Sunday 1,757 people visited the amusement park.56% of the visitors were adults,16%were teenagers, and 28% were children ages 12 and under. Find the number of adults,teenagers,and children that visited the park

Answer 1

• 984 adults
• 281 teens
• 492 children

Explanation:

Multiply the total by the corresponding percentage to find the number. We assume the percentages have been rounded, so some adjustment is needed in the result of the multiplication.

{adults, teens, children} = 1757 × {.56, .16, .28} = {983.92, 281.12, 491.96}

≈ {984, 281, 492}

The visitors included 984 adults, 281 teens, and 492 children.
