there were 6000 people at a football match
10% of them left 2 minutes before the end of the game to avoid traffic
50% of the rest left as soon as the match ended
a) how many people in total had left the football match when it ended?
b) what percentage of the original crowd was still there?

10%+50%=60%

60% of 6000=3600

a)3600 people had left the match when it ended

b)6000-3600=2400

40% of the crowd was still there
