Answer:

6400 people attended the concert.

Explanation:

Given:

Percentage of people who receives free tickets = 10%

10 % of the people = 640

To Find:

The total number of people who attended the concert =?

Solution:

Let the total number of people be x

then According to the question

10% of x = 640


(10)/(100) * x = 640


0.1* x = 640


x = (640)/(0.1)

x = 6400
