Answer:

200 visitors went to screen 1.

125 visitors went to screen 2.

175 visitors went to screen 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

We will find number of visitors who went to screen 1 by finding 40% of 500 as we are told that 40% of 500 visitors went to screen 1.

$500*\frac{40}{100} =5*40=200$

Therefore, 200 visitors went to screen 1.

Now we will find number of visitors who went to screen 2. We are told that 25% of 500 visitors went to screen 2.

$500*\frac{25}{100} =5*25=125$

Therefore, 125 visitors went to screen 2.

Now we will find the number of visitors who went to screen 3 by subtracting combined number of visitors who went to screen 1 and screen 2 from total number of visitors.

$500-(200+125)$
