Question

People attending a basketball game either supported the home team or the visiting team. If 549 of the people attending supported the home team and 351 supported the visiting team, what percentage supported the home team?

Answer 1

36%

Step-by-step explanation: First, you need to find out what number of people supported the home team by finding the difference.

549-351=198

To turn the number of home team supporters into a percentage, you need to take the fraction
`(198)/(549) \\` and convert it to a decimal by division.

198/549=.3606557377

Round to the hundredths place

=.36

move the decimal, and you have your percentage

36%

Answer 2

Your answer is about 36%.

Explanation:

First you do 549-351 = 198.

You do this to find the amount of people supporting the home team.

Then you do 198/549 = 0.36065573770492.

Times this number by 100 and you have your answer of 36.065573770492%.
