Jess observed that 60% of the people at a mall on a particular day shopped for clothes. If 2500 people at the mall did not shop for clothes that day, the number of people who shopped for clothes that day was ______. (only put numeric values, no other symbols) Numerical Answers Expected!

Answer 1

2500 is 40% of the 100%
so, from the 40%, figure out 10%
2500/4=600
600 x 6=3,600
so, 3,600 is the answer
