Question

There were 60 people on bus. 40% were female. How many people were females and how many were males?

Answer 1

There were 24 females and 36 men on the bus

Explanation:

To find the amount of females on the bus you multiply the 60 passengers by 0.4 to mimic the 40% and you get 24. So there were 24 females and to find the men you simply subtract 24 and 60 to get 36
