Question

432 women attended a conference. Women made up 72% of the total conference attendees.

Men made up the other 28% of attendees.

How many men attended the conference?

Answer 1

168

Explanation:

If entire number of attendees = y

then number of women = y* (72/100)

since y* (72/100) = 432 ( given)

y =( 432*100)/72

so, y = 600

since men made up the remaining 28% of attendees ,

number of men = y * (28/100) = 600* (28/100)

number of men = 168
