Q

Answer 1

Explanation:

For your first question,

Total percentage of people cheering for visiting team = 45%

Total percentage of people cheering for home team = 55%

Total number of people cheering = 1200

Therefore, the number of people cheering for visiting team = 45% of 1200

=
`(45)/(100)` × 1200

= 45 × 12

= 540 people

For your second question,

Total number of questions = 75

Total percentage of the number of questions he completed = 36%

Percentage of the amount of questions left = 100 - 36 = 64%

Therefore, the number of questions left to complete = 64% of 75

=
`(64)/(100)` × 75

=
`(64)/(20)` × 15

=
`(64)/(4)` × 3

= 16 × 3

= 48 questions are left
