Answer 1

To find the number of parents who attended the soccer game, multiply the total number of attendees by 0.60.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of parents who attended the soccer game, we need to determine 60% of the total number of attendees. We can do this by multiplying the total number of people by 0.60:

Number of parents = 120 x 0.60 = 72

Therefore, there were 72 parents who attended the soccer game.
