Help me solve for this:

75% of the people at a stadium are adults and the rest are children. 30% of the children are girls. If there are 2100 people at the stadium, write an equation to demonstrate how many boys there are at the stadium and solve.

You would do this:

75%/100% = x/2100...solve...x= 1575 adults.
Therefore, there are 525 kids.
Your next equation is this:
If 30% of 525 kids are girls, then 70% of 525 kids are boys:

70/100 % = x/525.....solve....x=368 kids are boys.
