Question

in a recent year, there were approximately 125 million moviegoers in a certain country. Of these, about 12/25 were ages 27-37. Find the approximate number of people ages 27-37 who attended the movies that year.

Answer 1

Hello! Just by doing this in my head alone, 12/25 is equivalent to 48%. What we would have to do is 125 million times 0.48. 125,000,000 * 0.48 is 60,000,000. There were about 60 million people ages 27-37 that attended the movies that year.
