Question

4800 people attended a football game. If 10% of the people who attended were teenagers, how many teenagers attended the game?

Answer 1

480 were teenagers

I know this because 10% of 4800 is 480!

Answer 2

Answer: 480 are teenagers

Explanation:

To find a percentage of a number, I like to convert the percentage into its decimal form, so I do...

10% = .1 because a percentage is out of a whole number. 100% = 1.

Next, multiply your sum by the percentage you are looking for, so...

`4800*.1=480`
