Answer:

72

Explanation:

Given:

There were 120 people in total.

60% were parents.

To find:

Number of parents attended.

Solution:

1. 60% of 120

It can also be written as:

(60)/(100)* (120)/(1)

Simplify

$(60)/(100)\\\\=(6)/(10)$

(6/2)/(10/2)=(3)/(5)

2.
$\bold{(3)/(5)* (120)/(1)}$

Multiply

(3*120)/(5*1) = (360)/(5)

Divide

(360)/(5)= 360/5=72

Therefore, 72 parents attended the game.
