Complete Question

A school held several evening activities last month—a music concert, a basketball game, a drama play, and literacy night. The music concert was attended by 250 people. How many people came to each of the other activities?

Attendance at the drama play was 140% of attendance at the concert. How many people came to the drama play?

Answer:

350 people

Explanation:

Percentage of people that attended a drama play =

Number of people that attended the drama play/Total number of people at the concert × 100

Attendance at the drama play was 140% of attendance at the concert.

The music concert was attended by 250 people

Let the number of people that came to the drama play = x

Hence:

140% = x/250 × 100

140/100 = x/250

Cross Multiply

140 × 250 = 100 × x

x = 140 × 250/100

x = 350 people

Therefore, the number of people that came to the drama play = 350 people
