To find the percentage of adults at the fair, we first need to determine the number of adults.

Given that there are 5 people in total and 2 are men, 2 are women, and the remaining are children, we can calculate the number of adults by subtracting the number of children from the total number of people:

Total number of people - Number of children = Number of adults

2500 - 1 = 2499

So, there are 2499 adults at the fair.

To find the percentage, we can use the formula:

Percentage = (Number of adults / Total number of people) * 100

Plugging in the values:

Percentage = (2499 / 2500) * 100 = 99.96%

Therefore, approximately 99.96% of the people at the fair are adults.

Answer:

Percentage of adults = 80%

Number of adults = 2000

Explanation:

Percentage of men = 2/5 x 100 = 40%

Percentage of women = 2/5 x 100 = 40%

Percentage of adults = 40+ 40= 80%

If there are 2500 people, then number of adults
= 2500 x 80%

= 2500 x 80/100

= 2000 adults
