Question

During one hour at an amusement park, 20 guests bought only day passes, 60 guests bought only tickets to individual rides, and 40 guests bought only food. What percentage of these 120 guests bought only day passes during this hour?

A) 80%
B) 20%
C) 83 1/3%
D) 16 2/3%

Answer 1

To determine the percentage of guests who bought only day passes, divide the number of day pass buyers by the total number of guests and multiply by 100. In this case, 16 2/3% of the guests bought only day passes.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate what percentage of guests bought only day passes at the amusement park, we need to divide the number of guests who bought only day passes by the total number of guests and then multiply by 100 to get the percentage.

Total number of guests = Guests who bought day passes + Guests who bought ride tickets + Guests who bought food

Total number of guests = 20 day pass buyers + 60 ride ticket buyers + 40 food buyers = 120 guests

To find the percentage who bought only day passes:

Percentage = (Number of day pass buyers / Total number of guests) × 100

Percentage = (20 / 120) × 100 = (1 / 6) × 100 = 16.67%

Therefore, the percentage of guests who bought only day passes during this hour is 16 2/3%, which corresponds to option D.
