Question

There are 75 people in a room. Of these people, 2/5 are from Germany. If 4/9 of the people who are not from Germany are from France, how many of the people in the room are from neither Germany nor France

Answer 1

Answer:

25 people are not from Germany or France.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You first want find out what is the number of people from Germany.

So you would find...

2/5 of 75

or

2/5*75= 30 people from Germany

2. Next you want to to find out the number of people from France.

So you would do the following...

75-30=45 (Subtract the number of people from Germany from 75 so you can get the total number of people from France and other countries)

4/9 of 45 to find the number of people from France.

4/9 *45= 20

3. Lastly you need to find the people who are from neither of the countries listed above.

Add 30+20= 50

Then subtract that number from 75.

75-50= 25 people who are from neither France or Germany.

Voila! This is your answer. Hope this helps! :)
