Question

At a football stadium, 4% of the fans in attendance were teenagers. If there were 260 teenagers at the football stadium, what was the total number of people at the stadium?

Answer 1

Percentage of fans in the stadium who were teenagers = 4%

Number of teenagers in the match = 260

Let the total number of people at the stadium be x.

Which means :

`=\tt 4\% \: \: of \: \: x = 260`

`=\tt (4)/(100) * x = 260`

`=\tt (4 * x)/(100) = 260`

`= \tt (4x)/(100) = 260`

`= \tt4x = 260 * 100 \\ \tt \: \: \: = 26000`

`=\tt x = (26000)/(4)`

`\color{plum} =\tt x = 6500`

▪︎Therefore, number of people at the stadium = 6500

Answer 2

solution

4%=260

100%=?

=(100x260)/4

=6500
