Pls help.

Answer 1

37%

Explanation:

Percentage Supporting Home Team

• Number of home supporters / Number of total supporters
• 1369 / 1369 + 2331
• 1369 / 3700
• 0.37
• 37%

Answer 2

37%

Explanation:

To find the percentage of people that supported the home team, we need to find the total number of people.

This is because the percentage of people supporting the home team will be given by:

Number of people supporting home team / total number of people

The total number of people is the people supporting the home team plus the people supporting the visiting team:

1369+2331=3700

Therefore, our percentage will be:

1369/3700

Plug this into our calculator and we get:

0.37

Convert that a percentage for a final answer of 37%
