The number of people who can attend the festival is 345.

To find out, you can multiply the total number of people who want to attend (575) by the percentage of people the event can accommodate (60% or 0.60):

575 x 0.60 = 345

345

Explanation:

100% = 575

1% = 575÷100 = 5.75

60% = 5.75 × 60 = 345
