Question

At a football game, 43% were supporting the visiting team. If total number of people attending the game was 2800, how many people were supporters of the home team?

Answer 1

The number of people supporting the visiting team was 43% of the total number of attendees, or 43/100 * 2800 = 1204 people.

Therefore, the number of people supporting the home team was 2800 - 1204 = 1596 people

Answer 2

To find the number of people supporting the home team, subtract the percentage of people supporting the visiting team from 100%, then multiply the percentage by the total number of people attending the game.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of people supporting the home team, we need to subtract the percentage of people supporting the visiting team from 100%.

Therefore, the percentage of people supporting the home team is 100% - 43% = 57%.

To find the actual number of people, we multiply the percentage by the total number of people attending the game.

So, the number of people supporting the home team is 57% of 2800:

1. 57% * 2800 = 0.57 * 2800 = 1596
