Question

5,000 people attended a football game. If 25% of the people who attended were teenagers, how many teenagers attended the game

Answer 1

1250 teenagers

Explanation:

= 5000 * (1/4)

= 5000 * 0.25

= 1250

Answer 2

`\huge\boxed{\sf 1250 \ teenagers}`

Explanation:

Total people = 5,000

Teenagers:

= 25% of total people

Key: "of" means "to multiply" and total people = 5000

= 25% × 5000

Key: % means "out of 100"

`\displaystyle =(25)/(100) * 5000\\\\= 25 * 50\\\\= 1250 \ teenagers\\\\\rule[225]{225}{2}`
