Question

There are 120 people on the bus 50% get off at the first stop 20% get off at the second stop. The rest get off on the third stop. How many people got off the bus at the third stop? Please show the correct answer :)

Answer 1

Explanation:

(saw this trick on tik tok)

50%+20%= 70%

100%-70%= 30%

30% of 120 people

3/10x120/1= 360/10 (cancel out the 0s)

your answer is 36

Answer 2

48 people

Explanation:

First, find how many were left after the first stop:

120(0.5)

= 60

Find how many were left after the second stop:

60(0.8)

= 48

So, since the rest got off on the third stop, this means 48 people got off on the third stop.
