Question

approximately 60,000 people attend a game. the first 20% of those people receive a raffle ticket. 1/3 of the people who received a raffle ticket will win a prize. How many people receive a raffle ticket but do not receive a prize

Answer 1

8,000

Explanation:

The number of people who receive a raffle ticket is 20% of 60,000, which is:

0.20 x 60,000 = 12,000

Out of the 12,000 people who received a raffle ticket, 1/3 of them will win a prize, which is:

(1/3) x 12,000 = 4,000

Therefore, the number of people who received a raffle ticket but did not receive a prize is:

12,000 - 4,000 = 8,000
