Question

At the movie theatre 30% of the audience members were children. If the number of children at the movie theatre was 210, what was the total number of people at the movie theatre?

Answer 1

The total number of people at the movie theatre is 700.

Explanation:

Formula

`Percentage = (Part\ value* 100)/(Total\ value)`

As given

At the movie theatre 30% of the audience members were children.

If the number of children at the movie theatre was 210.

Percentage = 30%

Part value = 210

Put in the formula

`30 = (210* 100)/(Total\ value)`

`Total\ value = (21000)/(30)`

Total value = 700

Therefore the total number of people at the movie theatre is 700.
