Find the 22% of the 417

.22 * 417 = 91.74

then subtract that from 417

417 - 91.47

325 (rounding)

Let

x--------> the number of people attended last week’s game

we know that


22\% =(22)/(100) =0.22


(1+0.22)x=417 \\ 1.22x=417

Solve for x

Divide by
1.22 both sides


x=417/1.22=342\ people

therefore

the answer is

The number of people attended last week’s game was
342\ people
