Question

There are 40000 people at a soccer match. $83\%$ support the home team.

How many people support the home team?

How many do not support the home team?

What percentage do not support the home team?

Answer 1

Solution:-

Total no. of people $=40000$

Given $83\%$ support the home team.

1). No of people support the home team $=x$

$\Rightarrow \frac{x}{40000}\times 100=83$

$\Rightarrow x=83\times 400=33200$

2). No. of people do not support the home team

$=40000-33200=6800$

3). $\%$ of people do not support

$=\frac{6800}{40000}\times 100=17\%$
