Answer:

1,000 people

Explanation:

At a basketball game, 75% of people attending were supporting the home team, while 25% were supporting the visiting team. If 750 people attending the game supported the home team, the total number of people attending the game was 1,000 people.

75% = 3/4 or 0.75

25% = 1/4 or 0.25

We need to find what 25% is.

75/3=25

75% = 0.75

750 people / 0.75 = 1,000 people

Therefore, there were 1,000 people at the game.
