Question

If 1800 people go to a football match and 46% leave at half time, how many people are left in the stadium?

Answer 1

972 people would be left in the stadium. :)

Answer 2

972 people are left in the stadium.

Explanation:

Given:

Number of people went to a football match = 1800

Number of people left the match at half time= 46%

To Find:

Number of people are left in the stadium=?

Solution:

we know that, left over people = total count of people – people who left the match.

`\text{{Left over people}}= 1800 -46\%  \text{{of 1800}}`

`\text{{Left over people}} = 1800(1- 46\%)`

`\text{{Left over people}}= 1800* (1 - 46(1)/(100))`

`\text{{Left over people}} = 1800* (1 - (46)/(100))`

`\text{{Left over people}} = 1800*((100-46))/(100)`
`\text{{Left over people}}= 1800*(54)/(100)`
`\text{{Left over people}}= 18 * 54`
`\text{{Left over people}} = 972`

Hence, 972 people are still watching the match.
