Answer:

Below!

Step-by step explanation:

We know that:

  • 400 + 850 + m = 1500

Solution of Question A:

Percent of children: Total children/Total attendance

  • => 400/1500
  • => 4/15
  • => 0.27 (Rounded to nearest hundredth)
  • => 0.27 x 100
  • => 27%

Hence, the percent of children is about 27%.

Solution of Question B:

Percent of women: Total women/Total attendance

  • => 850/1500
  • => 85/150
  • => 17/30
  • => 17/30 x 100
  • => 17/3 x 10
  • => 170/3
  • => 56.67%

Hence, the percent of women is 56.67%.

Solution of Question C:

  • 400 + 850 + m = 1500
  • => 1250 + m = 1500
  • => m = 1500 - 1250
  • => m = 250

Percent of men: Total men/Total attendance

  • => 250/1500
  • => 1/6
  • => 0.17 (Rounded to nearest hundredth)
  • => 0.17 x 100
  • => 17%

Hence, the percent of men is about 17%

Hoped this helped.
