Anastasia works at the local museum and has been tracking museum attendance. On Thursday, she counts 220 museum visitors under t
he age of 12. She misplaces her count of the total number of visi tors that day, but she knows that the under-12 visi tors were 55% of the total visitors. Determine the total number of visitors to the museum on Thursday .?
So, we know that there were 220 visitors who were under the age of 12, and that the amount of visitors under the age of 12 was 55% of the total number of visitors. This means that 220 was 55% of the number of visitors. To find the total number of visitors, we divide the number of visitors under the age of 12 (220) by 0.55 (55%).
