Answer:

560 total people attending the game.

Explanation:

95 : 100 = 532 : x

(95%) 95 is to 100 = 532 (the # of people supporting the home team) is to x (the total number of people attending the game)

x = (532*100) /95

x = 560 total people attending the game.

5% of 560 = 28 visitor team Supporters.
