A) 35% ~ do 100-65 which equals 35, then turn it into a percent

B) 742 ~ add the male and female spectators together

C) 462 ~ 280*.65=182 then add 182 and 280

I hope this help you:)

a). Simply, subtract 100 percent minus 65 percent, which gives you the answer 35 percent.

b). So, to find the total number you add 280 plus 65 percent, which gives you the answer, 462.

c). To find this, simply subtract 462 minus 280, which gives you the answer, 182.

Hope this helps!
