Question

a total of 240 people drove to a meeting. of those people who attended the meeting, 80% drove there. how many people attended the meeting?

Answer 1

240 people, multiplied by 80 % divided by 100 = 192 people.

192 people attended the meeting.

Answer 2

There were 300 people at the meeting

Explanation:

The number of people who drove to the meeting is equal to the number of people at the meeting times the percentage of people who drove

240 = people *80%

Change this to a decimal

240 = people *.8

Divide each side by .8

240/.8 = people *.8/.8

300 = people

There were 300 people at the meeting
