Question

At a football game, 45% of people attending were supporting the home team, while 55% were supporting the visiting team. If 1395 people attending the game supported the home team, what was the total number of people attending the game?

Answer 1

Let's start by setting up a proportion:

45/100 = 1395/x

We can cross-multiply to solve for x:

45x = 1395 * 100

45x = 139500

x = 139500/45

x = 3100

Therefore, the total number of people attending the game was 3100.
