Out of the 71,000 people who attended the game, 34% were Rams Fans 42.5% were Patriots fans, the rest were fans of other teams. Part A: How many people at the game were Rams fans? Part B: How many people at the game were fans of other teams?

Answer 1

Answer:
Part A:24140 PartB: 16865
Explanation:
multiply the total number of people by the decimal form of the percentage (move decimal left two places)
71000*.34=24140
71000*.425=30175
then to find the other number you must add the two before then subtract from the total
24140+30175=54135
71000-54135=16865
