Answer:

14.52% are unicyclists

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we can use proportions to find the number of unicyclists at the convention. Since we know that the ratio of unicyclists to aerial artists is 9:11, and there are 88 aerial artists, we can set up the following equation:

\frac{9}{11}=\frac{x}{88}

If we cross multiply, we get that 11x = (88)(9). After we divide through by 11 to isolate x, we get that x = (8)(9) = 72

Second, we have to figure out the number of mimes at the convention to figure out the total number of people there. We know that the ratio of unicyclists to mimes is 3:14, and the number of unicyclists is 72. So, we can set up the following proportion:

\frac{3}{14}=\frac{72}{y}

If we cross multiply, we get that 3y = 1008, or y = 336 mimes

The total number of people at the convention is 336 mimes + 72 unicyclists + 88 unicyclists = 496. Now we have to figure out what percent of 496 is 72 (the number of unicyclists). If we let z = the percentage, we can simply set up an equation that says that 72 is z% of 496:

72=0.01z*496\\0.01z=0.14516\\z=14.52

This means that approximately 14.52% of the performers are unicyclists.

Answer:

14.52%

Step-by-step explanation:

U/A = 9/11       and   A = 88      multiply by  8/8   ( to get A=88 as given)

9/11 * 8/8 = 72/88  = U / A       so <u>U = 72 </u>

Then U/M = 3/14    multiply by  24/24   ( to get U = 72 as found above)

  then  U/M=    72 / 336    <u> M = 336</u>

U / ( A + U + M )  x  100% =<u> 14.52 %</u>
