Question

If 5% of the 11,000 people who entered a drawing won a prize, how many people did NOT win a prize?

Answer 1

Since 5% of 11 000 did win a prize, that means the other 95% did not win a prize (100%-5%=95%). 95% in decimals is 0.95. To find out how many people did not win a prize multiply 0.95 by 11 000 to get how many people did not win a prize. 0.95• (times) 11 000=10 450. And there you go! You can use this format for questions similar to this as well. Hope you understand now

Answer 2

Answer: 10,450

Explanation:

If 5% of the 11,000 people who entered a drawing won a prize, that means that 95% of the people did not win a prize.

To find out how many people did not win a prize, we can calculate 95% of the total number of people who entered the drawing:

95% of 11,000 = 0.95 x 11,000 = 10,450

Therefore, 10,450 people did not win a prize.
