Question

There are 50 kids taking archery at Bentwood Summer Camp. If 25% of the kids are taking archery, how many kids are at Bentwood Summer Camp in all?

Answer 1

Using the properties of percentages we can calculate that there are 200 kids in the archery camp that summer.

Long before the decimal numeral system, Ancient Rome routinely computed in fractions as multiples of 1/100.

A percentage is a dimensionless (pure) number; it has no unit of measurement.

The % value is determined by multiplying the numerical value of the ratio by 100. To calculate 50 apples as a percentage of 1250 apples, first compute 50/1250 = 0.04, then multiply by 100 to get 4%.

Let the total number of kids in the camp be x.

The number of kids who took archery = 25%

But 50 students took archery.

hence 25% of x = 50

Solving we infer:

x = 200

Therefore there are 200 kids in the camp.
