Question

If 420 women at a conference comprise 40% of all the people at the conference, how many people are at the conference?

Answer 1

1050 people

Explanation:

if there are x people at a conference

then 40% of x = 420

40% can be written as 40/100 --> 4/10 --> 2/5

2/5 * x = 420

x = 420 * 5/2

x = 1050
