Question

A cinema has three screens . last saturday there were 500 visitor . 40% went to screen 1 . 25% went to screen 2. The rest went to screen 3. Workout how many visitor attended each screen?

Answer 1

Screen 1: 200, Screen 2: 125 , Screen 3: 175

Explanation:

Screen 1

Multiply 40% and 500

Convert 40% to a decimal

40/100=0.40

500*0.40

200

Screen 2

Multiply 25% and 500

Convert 25% to a decimal

25/100=0.25

500*0.25

125

Screen 3

Subtract the amount of people that went to screens 1 and 2 from the total

500-200-125

175

So, Screen 1 had 200 visitors, 2 had 125 and 3 had 175

Hope this helps! :)
