Answer:

Percentage of home team supporters =65%

Percentage of visiting team supporters =35%

Explanation:

Total attendees=2,000 people

Home team supporters=1,300

Visiting team supporters=700

What percentage of people attending supported the home team?

Percentage of people attending who supported the home team = home team supporters / total attendees × 100

=1,300/2,000 × 100

=0.65 × 100

=65%

Visiting team supporters = visiting team supporters / total attendees

× 100

=700/2000 × 100

=0.35 × 100

=35%

Alternatively,

Visiting team supporters = percentage of total attendees - percentage of home team supporters

=100% - 65%

=35%
