Question

There are men and women at a meeting

There are 42 women.
40% of the people at the meeting are men
Work out the total number of people at the meeting.

Answer 1

70 people are at the meeting

Step-by-step explanation:

42=60% of people at the meeting

42/6=7

7= 10% of the people at the meeting

100% - 60%= 40%(the percentage of men)

7 x 4= 28

28 men are at the meeting

42 + 28= 70
