Question

Of the 82,000 fans that attended a bowl game between Ohio State and Notre Dame, 60% were Ohio State fans. About how many fans at the game were for Notre Dame?

Answer 1

To determine the number of Notre Dame fans at the game, we first calculate the Ohio State fans as 49,200 (60% of 82,000) and then subtract this from the total fans to find that there are approximately 32,800 Notre Dame fans at the game.

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer how many fans at the game were for Notre Dame, we must first calculate the number of Ohio State fans, which is 60% of 82,000. Calculating 60% of 82,000 gives us 49,200 Ohio State fans. The remaining 40% of the fans would be for Notre Dame or other teams. So, we subtract the number of Ohio State fans from the total number of fans:

Total fans = 82,000

Ohio State fans = 60% of total fans = 49,200

Notre Dame fans = Total fans - Ohio State fans

Notre Dame fans = 82,000 - 49,200

Therefore, there are about 32,800 fans for Notre Dame at the game.
