Question

A cinema has three screens last Saturday there were 500 visitors 40% went to screen 1 ,25% went to screen 2 the rest went to screen 3 work out how many visitors attended each screen

Answer 1

200 visitors went to screen 1.

125 visitors went to screen 2.

175 visitors went to screen 3.

Explanation:

We will find number of visitors who went to screen 1 by finding 40% of 500 as we are told that 40% of 500 visitors went to screen 1.

`500*(40)/(100) =5*40=200`

Therefore, 200 visitors went to screen 1.

Now we will find number of visitors who went to screen 2. We are told that 25% of 500 visitors went to screen 2.

`500*(25)/(100) =5*25=125`

Therefore, 125 visitors went to screen 2.

Now we will find the number of visitors who went to screen 3 by subtracting combined number of visitors who went to screen 1 and screen 2 from total number of visitors.

`500-(200+125)`

`500-325=175`

Therefore, 175 visitors went to screen 3.
