Question

a school is planning an event. they want to give out small souvenir footballs to children 10 years and younger. 2/5 of people attending are students, and 1/4 are 10 years old or less. there are 560 people attending. each football costs 1.50 dollars. how much will they spend on footballs, and how many students are 10 years old or less?

Answer 1

$84

56

Explanation:

The event is attended by 560 people.

`(2)/(5)` of people attending are students.

So, the number of students =
`(2)/(5) * 560 = 224`

Again,
`(1)/(4)` of all students are 10 years old or less.

So, the number of students of old 10 or less is
`(1)/(4) * 224 = 56` (Answer)

The school wants to give out small souvenir footballs to children 10 years and younger. If each football costs $1.50 ,then

the total cost for football is (1.5 × 56) = $84 (Answer)
